Framed by Total Quality Management Principles derived from the ISO 9001:2000 standard, The Total Quality Zero Waste Management System is macro research managing (4) four micro researches using Principle of Total Quality Management. The entire researches sought to address the solid waste in Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School. The system begins with (Lorejo et al) entitled Micro-Segregation System: Redesigning Traditional Garbage Bins for Specificity, Purpose and Functionality. It aimed to restructure the traditional paradigm of waste segregation bins and its design. The next phase was on micro waste processing system. Each bins and type of waste were distributed to different solid waste processing facilities. The paper type (paper and paper cups) is framed by the research of (Permites et al) entitled Paper Type Waste Treatment Facility: Processing Paper Type Waste in MOGCHS to other Potential Outcomes. Similar to this is the study of (Lim et al) Leaves and Perishable Waste Treatment Facility: Processing leaves and Perishable Waste in MOGCHS for Composting Organic Fertilizer. Another researches from (Ranalan et al) entitled Endothermic Construction material made from recycled plastic bottles fused with ethylene Glycol. These sub researches are managed by this main research Total Quality Zero Waste Management System. The study sought to answer the following questions 1.What is the evaluation of degree of application of each Total Quality Management Principles derived from the ISO 9001:2000 standard in the project management of the Total Quality Zero Waste Management System 2. What is the evaluation of the sub researchers toward the head researchers application and use of Total Quality Management Principles derived from the ISO 9001:2000 standard. The study found out that the principles in Total Quality Management was an effective management model as used in project management and delivery.  Specifically, the researches met and tried to go beyond the standard set by Local Ordinance No. 13130-2016 is in line with Section 166 of Republic Act 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.  Leadership demands were carried out through weekly meeting. During these times purpose, direction and other content that needs to be communicated were delivered. Students and teachers were involved in the project. They were also oriented on the project and how they can participate and make contribution for the success of the project.  PDCA (PLAN, DO, CHECK and ACT) tool kit was used in the study. Total Quality Zero Waste Management System follows a system approach. Each different research is a part of the whole which is this research. Each research is i ndependent from other research, however there is a consequential connection between each research to the other. The results of the research of each researcher influence the other research. Total Quality Zero Waste Management System has a bottom up feedback/evaluation mechanism. This research and each researches made use of statistical procedure to evaluate the implementation of the program, the innovation and the facility. Descriptive statistics, percentage, frequency and frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation were used in the study. All of these statistical results were used to evaluate and present the project, and the processes within the project. The statistical results were also used as basis for future improvements. In some cases, immediate but minor augmentation and corrective procedure of the facility, program and processes within the project to ensure quality implementation and delivery of the system. Communicating a shared value of quality to the suppliers of the facilities, the users of the facilities and the contributors of the project was one of the most challenging endeavor that this research encountered. It was already a challenge imparting and owning that shared value of quality amongst researchers, much more sharing, communicating, imparting and owning that value to others.  It is recommended to use Total Quality Management Principles as framework for the development and delivery of a project. It is recommended that each institution, private or government, local or national to adopt and implement the Total Quality Zero Waste Management System with its corresponding facility.
