Abstract

This study investigated methods to increase waste separation behavior among undergraduate students at the University of Indonesia. An experiment was conducted to determine whether participants kept their waste materials until being able to dispose the waste into the correct waste bin category or if they littered instead. Participants were divided into two rooms: one with waste bins in the room, and the other with bins outside of room. Participants created artwork by finger painting and were given wet tissue and a snack, which became their waste to dispose. The variables analyzed were waste separation behavior in two conditions: a room with a waste bin and a room without a bin. An independent sample t test was used to calculate the results from both groups. Most participants demonstrated waste separation behavior but did not correctly separate their waste into its respective categories. These results suggest that waste separation is not determined by the presence of waste bins, but it is influenced by the waste holder’s perceived value of this action.
