Background: Waste is defined as unwanted remains, residues discarded, and material or by products which are no longer required by the initial user. These materials are by-products of human activities such as process of preparation, manufacture, packing, repacking, unpacking, construction, renovation of structures and mining operations. Almost any substance that is discarded is designated as waste, but it may also be considered as a potential resource. Virtually everything in the "waste stream" has residual value for someone or some business in the community. Waste can serve as valuable resources as ground cover to reduce erosion, fertilizer to nourish the crops. KAP studies investigate the knowledge attitude and practice of respondents on the particular subject of interest. KAP studies tell us what people know about certain things, how they feel, and how they behave. The knowledge possessed by a community refers to their understanding of waste generation, description and recycling in this context. Attitude refers to their feeling toward waste separation, collection as well as recycling. Practice refers to the way in which they demonstrate their knowledge and attitude throw their actions.

This study aims to identify factors contributing to disciplinary issues, and observe measures currently in operations that manage this behaviour. Data for this qualitative case study include interviews from 10 respondents who are subject teachers, discipline teachers, and school counsellors at one urban secondary schools in Malaysia. This study concludes the home environment, peer influence, social expectation, school culture, the Media, and informationcommunication technology are identified as salient factors contributing to indiscipline in schools. Constructive strategies to manage indiscipline include effective classroom management, humane-environmental awareness planning, strong school leadership, and pupil-peer mentoring systems. A comprehensive study involving larger samples of schools and respondents is suggested to develop further reliable strategies to address at-risk student indiscipline and dropout.
