Abstract
Background: Rapid population growth and the expansion of residential and commercial infrastructure have led to increased consumption of goods, resulting in a higher volume of waste generated at temporary waste disposal sites. Existing waste management facilities located near residential areas are increasingly unable to accommodate the continuous rise in waste volume. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in residents’ knowledge regarding household waste management. Method: The intervention employed an observational and educational approach, consisting of lectures, hands-on practical activities, and knowledge assessments using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Result: A total of 30 respondents participated in the household waste management education program. Statistical analysis of the pre-test and post-test results demonstrated a significant difference in knowledge scores (p = 0.008), indicating a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge following the educational intervention. Conclusion: The educational intervention was effective in enhancing residents’ knowledge of household waste management.
