Abstract

This preliminary study investigates the barriers inhibiting effective household waste recycling in Seremban, Malaysia. Data was gathered from 101 households using a structured Google Form questionnaire over two months. Seven barriers were identified, with limited access to recycling facilities, lack of awareness, and inconvenient collection schedules among the most prominent. Quantitative statistical methods were employed to analyze the data, revealing mean scores and skewness for each barrier. The results of this initial investigation will serve as a foundation for a more comprehensive study employing the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to analyze complex interrelationships between barriers.
