The KAP (Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices) towards E-waste Management of the 323 respondents from Barangay San Ildefonso were gathered and the correlation between socio-demographic profile and KAP was determined. This study employed the descriptive research design using a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical tools that were applied using SPSS were Frequencies, Percentage, Median, Mean, Kendall's tau, Cramer's V, Chi-square and p-value. Based from the socio-demographic profile of the participants, 42 (13.00%) were from Sitio Pitabacan; 220 (68.11%) were female; 110 (34.1%) were 4554 years old; 219 (67.80%) were married; 202 (62.54%) have a household size of three to five; 217 (67.18%) have completed their high school; 232 (71.83%) have monthly income below 11,000, and 140 (43.34%) have one member working. Results showed that most of the respondents are knowledgeable about electronic waste management. Households in Barangay San Ildefonso have a positive attitude and negative practices towards Electronic Waste Management; hence, there is a significant relationship between the place, civil status, age, educational attainment, and monthly income to the KAP of the respondents. To address the negative practices towards electronic waste, (a) ordinances align to R.A. 6969 and R.A. 9003 are highly recommended to be made and strictly implemented; (b) information dissemination campaign in the area may be conducted; and (c) linkages between Barangay San Ildefonso and the other NGAs (National Government Agencies), private institutions, and other concern groups is also recommended to ensure greater promotion and collaboration in addressing electronic waste management.
