“…However, penalties for those who fail to abide can be considered an excellent extrinsic motivator [32]. There is a shortage of enforcement to monitor the law's execution even though the government has introduced a mandatory law [33]. A more vigorous and proactive measure needs to be taken, such as appropriate supporting systems, facilities, and equipment to implement the law to achieve a higher target on the waste segregation among the communities.…”

The number of wastes generated in Malaysia is increasing every year. Eighty per cent of solid waste in landfills comes from recycled material, and food waste production has risen to around 15 000 tons per day. Recyclable waste and food waste are the highest waste produced in landfills. Recycling and food composting are two solutions that can reduce waste and slow down the rate of garbage received at the landfill. This research aims to determine the knowledge and awareness of waste segregation through recycling and composting. This paper also identifies the constraint of respondents on performing waste segregation. Here, an online questionnaire has been distributed to the community in urban and suburban areas in Selangor and Johor. A total of 125 respondents participated in this study. Analysis from the survey found no significant difference in the knowledge of waste segregation through recycling and composting between urban and suburban areas. It can be denoted that the respondents have a basic understanding of awareness on waste segregation, although only a few have not practised recycling due to several highlighted constraints. Therefore, some recommendation has been emphasized based on this finding, such as installing reverse vending machines (RVM), organizing campaigns, and providing more information on waste segregation. These suggestions have been the top choices to encourage waste segregation in the community. Moreover, further study needs to be extended to the household group in other states and assessing the effectiveness of RVM will elucidate the segregation behaviours among the community.

“…Likewise, as stated by Ridzuan et al (2017), Kuala Lumpur P.P.R households also stated that parents, siblings and neighbours are the important persons that influence an individual to have recycling behaviour especially from a mother since children tend to adhere to a mother's advice rather than others.…”

Waste management and recycling have emerged as critical issues in Malaysia's economy and ecology. It's encouraging to see recycling rates rise in Malaysia, but the country has a long way to go. Recycling is not widely practiced among Kuala Nerus's population. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate what influences people in Kuala Nerus to recycle. The study gathered its data from a street survey conducted in Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, which yielded 260 replies. The information was collected using online questionnaires completed by the respondents themselves. The respondent's details were kept confidential. Attitude, knowledge, perceived moral obligation, inconvenience, and subjective norms were all found to have positive correlations with recycling intention among Kuala Nerus residents. This research adds to the existing literature on recycling by elucidating the nature and importance of attitude, knowledge, inconvenience, perceived moral obligation, and subjective norms in predicting recycling intention. The findings have important policy implications, including the need for public authorities to actively promote recycling as a progressive social movement. To further encourage people to recycle, public authorities should increase access to recycling centers.
