Level of Recycling Awareness and Responses to On-campus Recycling Facilities: Case Study-Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Students
Abstract
A survey to find out the level of recycling awareness of 400 students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Bangi was conducted. The written questionnaires were focused on evaluation of waste management in UKM, recycling awareness and effective recycling bins design in UKM. The recycling facility was generally well supported, with predominantly positive recycling attitudes and self-reported recycling behaviour indicated for students. As conclusion, the survey conducted shows that the students are ready for recycling activities if the recycling facilities are provided and accessible to them.
