Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) contains harmful materials that require specialized end-of-life handling. This study aims to analyse formal e-waste disposal practices among residents in Bukit Sentosa, Rawang, Selangor. Employing a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 367 respondents residing in Bukit Sentosa to examine the relationship between knowledge, awareness, and attitudes towards e-waste disposal practices. Spearman's correlation test revealed positive correlations between knowledge, attitudes, and awareness, and formal e-waste disposal practices. These findings indicate that improved knowledge, attitudes, and awareness lead to more responsible disposal behaviours, including increased recycling, reduced waste production, and proper disposal of hazardous materials, thereby mitigating environmental pollution. The findings suggest to enhanced public awareness and education can foster better e-waste management practices among urban households. Furthermore, the results highlight the potential for collaboration between policymakers, government agencies, local authorities, and NGOs, contributing to the development of more comprehensive and effective waste management regulations.
