Two keywords were used to search from the secondary data which are environmental education (EE.) and waste management. The waste management was mainly focused to the education process only on island. The results found that waste management education conducted in all educational systems promoted both children and adults in different processes and settings. For example; educational set, waste management program, learning activities, and waste training manual. Moreover, the designed contents were varieties; such as, waste issues, effects from wastes, waste management, waste disposal, and waste separation by practice.
