The purpose of this writing is to provide a better understanding of the importance of managing household waste in environmental conservation efforts.Method: The research method used is a literature review which involves collecting and analyzing various sources of information relevant to the topic of household waste management. Results: Household waste management is very important to maintain environmental cleanliness and public health. Household waste, which includes organic, inorganic and hazardous waste such as batteries, can pollute the environment if not managed properly. Management methods such as waste separation, recycling and composting can help reduce the negative impact. Despite facing challenges such as minimal public awareness and limited resources, collaboration between the government, community and the private sector can improve household waste management.
