This study assessed the level of awareness of the National and Local Ordinance among households and LGU personnel, as well as the management of face mask wastes in Barangay Simala, Sibonga Cebu, taking into account the waste segregation, waste collection, and waste disposal. The researchers used the descriptive quantitative design and the research tool that included the modified semi-structured survey questionnaire for the profiling of respondents and checklists to assess the awareness and compliance in terms with the National and Local ordinance of waste management. The statistical analysis of the data gathered from this study showed that respondents are only partially of Ecological Solid Waste Management Act and is aware of Municipal Waste Management System. Furthermore, the level of compliance for waste segregation and waste disposal are always satisfactorily practiced. On the other hand, waste collection is only occasionally practiced by the respondents. Based on the outcomes of the study, it can be stated that the waste management of face masks in Barangay Simala is satisfactory but, in terms of waste collection, Barangay Simala may be regarded as acceptable, given that not all residences are accessible to the garbage collector for waste collection.
