Abstract

bstract: Electronic waste management has been a problem for a quite long time. Referring to Government Regulation No. 27 of 2020, it is important to provide education on the management of electronic waste generated by households. Specific waste is classified as B3 waste which requires special management. This study focuses on the management of electronic waste generated by households in Malang City. The flow of waste from households was measured from the disposal, repair, or donation process using questionnaires and interviews. This study involved electronic waste collectors participating in the survey on electronic waste collection. Demographically, educational background and household income do not influence the reduction of electronic waste accumulation by the type of waste disposed of and the treatment.
