Abstract	Baguio City continues to attract a growing number of tourists, making it essential to examine how the city manages its solid waste, especially within the food business sector. This study aims to evaluate current waste management practices and suggest improvements that food establishments can adopt. Using a quantitative and descriptive approach, the researchers conducted a survey among food businesses along Session Road, a busy area known for hosting popular festivals. The survey was divided into three parts: the second and third sections focused on solid waste management awareness and respectively, assessed the effectiveness of current practices. Results showed that awareness of solid waste management is generally high, although many respondents were less informed about the final destination of collected waste. Regarding effectiveness, respondents felt that current practices work well but highlighted the need for better garbage collection coverage throughout the city. This study provides valuable insights and recommendations to enhance solid waste management in Baguio’s food industry.
