ABSTRACT
Waste problems are present around the world. Many studies have been trying to solve waste
problems and reduce the amount of waste, but waste problems are at a standstill nowadays in many
places. Knowledge about household waste management has been given to many people in many
societies [1-3]. Many concerns are brought to the attention of those around them. This study focuses on
the pain point that has an influence on the failure of waste reduction participation. The data collected by
observation on three homes, focused on the activities to support waste reduction by reusing the reusable
waste and separating the recyclable waste for sending them to be recycled further. In the three homes in
this study, there are people with knowledge and awareness about waste reduction in society and around
the world. They try to support waste reduction in their homes. The results show that the important point
is the knowledge and awareness of waste problems and the intention to participate in waste reduction
in the community and indirectly in the world of the key man of the home or community.
