Abstract

About thirty per cent of our domestic waste is recyclable, hence, can be sustainably processed rather than disposing through incinerators and at landfills. Waste reduction and recycling activities are no longer an option but a necessary step to achieve a healthy life style and at the same time protecting our environment. Recycling can save more energy than burning waste because its process is simple and less pollution. This research is to measure recycle knowledge and awareness level of sample residents in Shah Alam, and their priorities or supports towards sustainability.  The findings will help the authority to address the issue.
