Abstract

Introduction: Recycling entails participatory waste management, which includes social, economic, and environmental alternatives and requires people to invest time in separating discarded material and returning it to the industrial process. A variety of variables have been used to understand pro-environmental behaviour, including peer influence, motivation to recycle, environmental beliefs, altruism, level of information, and environmental perception. Methodology: For present study a random survey was conducted amongst the residents of Jaipur staying at different locations and area. The questionnaire consisted of a total of sixteen questions based on the methods of recycling, recyclable items and attitude of public towards participating in recycling. Observations and Result: Most of the participants were aware of the recycling process and its necessity in present scenario. Still they have their own reasons for not being able to fully participate in practicing it in day to day life.
