The present study is conducted to investigate the implementation and impact of solid waste management program in one municipality in the Philippines. Employing the descriptive method of research utilizing the survey technique, the study involved two hundred eighty eight households and barangay officials. The study revealed that solid waste management program is moderately implemented. In addition, the result shows a moderate impact of solid waste management program to the community.
