Factors Influencing the Involvement of the Community in Recycling Programme in Perlis, Malaysia

Abstract:

A recycling programme study was conducted in residential areas in Kangar, Perlis. This study was conducted to identify the main factors that influence community participation in recycling programme. It is also expected to help the local authorities in dealing with solid waste disposal problems. A total of 80 respondents was given the questions and the sampling was done using a convenience sampling method. Results from data analysis found that knowledge on recycling is one of the factors affects the activity of the recycling program. Knowledge through environmental education can help increase recycling activities where it focuses on the importance of recycling in details. Therefore, those who do recycling activities are influenced by information from the learning efforts of formal and informal education.
