A CASE STUDY OF STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA (UITM) SABAH CAMPUS ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTISE

Abstract

The study's objective is to determine the students' level of solid waste management awareness, as well as their level of solid waste management practise in terms of waste segregation, reduction, reuse, and recycling. It is critical to determine the level of solid waste management practise among university students because universities are similar to cities, and any activity in a university can have a direct or indirect impact on the environment, particularly in terms of how they handle their waste. Unfortunately, the majority of existing data and studies on SWM have predominantly concentrated on municipalities. Based on the study overall finding, the study concluded that the students at UiTM Kota Kinabalu are knowledgeable and concerned about solid waste management and these students have a good habit of sorting, reducing, and reusing waste, but they do not recycle enough.
