Summary: | Abstract
Many household products contain hazardous material, and after the expiration, they become household hazardous waste. Household hazardous waste that discharged into the environment can have negative impacts on health and the environment. This study aimed to identify household hazardous waste in urban and rural areas. Waste identification carried for eight days to 60 households in the rural area and 55 households in the urban area. This study’s results indicate that household hazardous waste accounts for 5,30% (rural areas) and 8,22% (urban areas) in the municipal solid waste stream. Household hazardous waste in the rural area dominated by sanitation (35,97%) and household cleaning products (18,73%). In comparison, household hazardous waste in urban areas dominated by sanitation (64,80%) and household cleaning products waste (15,81%). Economic factors and lifestyle are factors that influence a different household hazardous waste generation in urban and rural areas. |
