ABSTRACT : The material recovery potential of generated solid wastes was determined in faculty rooms of three higher education institutions (HEIs) in Baquio City, Philippines, using a waste assessment and charaterization survey (WACS) . Results show that approximately 90% of solid wastes are potentially reoverable, as residual wastes only account 6%-11%. Interms of waste generation rates, faculty personnel generate wastes at a rate of 0.8 kg/capita/day to 2.9 kg/capita/ day. Furthermore, it is estimate that monetary equivalentsof recoverable materials range from P1.59- P11.98 per day (S1.00=P43.00,2010) In spite of preliminary material recovery efforts practiced in universities, the amount of wastes that can be diverted from the final waste stream is still high and unfortunately not utilized. It is recommended that untapped monetary values of generated solid wastes should prompt partnerships between HEIs and various stakeholders involved in the waste management stream to recover and monetize reusable and recyclable wastes. 56
