Abstract: Even with the presence of barangay and municipal ordinances on the Solid Waste Management and other Information Education Campaign activities in the Municipality of Rizal, Kalinga, there is a need to assess how these programs were implemented. Thus this study was conducted to assess the level of awareness and solid waste management practices of households in terms of 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) and assess the effectiveness of programs on solid waste management. A descriptive research design was used in gathering data and a total of 251 households as respondents. Data gathered were analyzed and interpreted using the frequency and percentage distribution. Findings showed that households are fully aware on the solid waste management, very aware on the waste management practices in terms of 3Rs 9reduce, reuse and recycle), and good in composting and disposal practices. It was found out that IEC and solid waste management programs were implemented well.
