Abstract This study aimed to examine the relationship between solid waste management practices and profitability among market vendors in Santa Rosa City, specifically focusing on the dry and food sections of the public market. The research sought to assess the vendors' level of knowledge, practices, and the extent to which these factors influence their business profitability. Furthermore, the study intended to propose a restructuring program to improve waste management practices and enhance vendors' profitability. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. 74 market vendors, who were of legal age and had been engaged in vending, were selected through purposive sampling. A structured survey questionnaire was utilized to gather data regarding their knowledge, practices, and profitability related to solid waste management. The statistical tools used in analyzing the data included frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient.

The findings revealed that market vendors possess a moderate level of knowledge regarding proper solid waste management, while their practices ranged from moderate to low, particularly in waste segregation and recycling. The study also found a significant relationship between the vendor's knowledge and solid waste management practices. Moreover, it was concluded that proper waste management practices have a positive influence on the profitability of market vendors, as they help reduce operational costs, attract more customers, and maintain a clean and healthy market environment. Based on the findings, the study recommended the development of a restructuring program focused on intensive information dissemination campaigns, provision of waste management facilities, regular monitoring, and training activities to improve the waste management practices of market vendors in Santa Rosa City. The study emphasized that strengthening solid waste management practices is essential not only for environmental sustainability but also for increasing business profitability.
