Abstract The study aimed to assess levels of waste management awareness and practices among the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Bahrain. The respondents consisted of 61 OFWs using the quota sampling method. Responses were collected using the snowball sampling method wherein 38 females and 23 males answered the survey. A questionnaire was utilized to determine the profile of the respondents, while their waste management awareness and practice levels were interpreted using a 4-point Likert Scale. The Measure of Central Tendency mode was used to determine the age and gender of the OFWs, while the mean was used to determine their waste management awareness and practice levels. The correlation between the levels of waste management awareness and practices was determined using Spearman’s Rank Correlation. An Independent Sample T-test and ANOVA test were used in determining the significant difference in the OFW's level of waste management awareness when grouped according to profile. The results of the data revealed a strong significant relationship between the level of awareness of OFWs and their level of practices on waste management. It is recommended that various forms of information dissemination should be held to educate the OFW community further and that more studies should focus on the level of awareness and practice with profiles such as occupation and years of residency. Additionally, the government may consider enforcing strict waste management policies in the country.
