The effects of adjacency of trash bin and recycling bins in motivating waste separation behaviour

The increasing amount of solid waste generation is a common issue facing by the countries worldwide. To overcome this problem, many countries implement recycling as the alternative to reduce the amount of solid waste generated. In order to achieve the target set of to achieve 22% of recycling rate i...

Tahar, Shaza Azmira G70.212-70.215 Geographic information system The increasing amount of solid waste generation is a common issue facing by the countries worldwide. To overcome this problem, many countries implement recycling as the alternative to reduce the amount of solid waste generated. In order to achieve the target set of to achieve 22% of recycling rate in the year 2020, Malaysia government has implemented mandatory waste separation among the Malaysian household.

A total of 715 subjects were involved in the experiment settings.
