E-waste management has grown in importance in the current technology-based world when the use of electronic equipment is increasing and making the switch to sustainable management more difficult. E-waste generation in Malaysia increased significantly between 1981 and 2020, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue in the years to come. In order to lessen risks to public health and the environment and to increase the reuse, recycling, and recovery of valuable e-waste resources, several governments have been compelled to adopt and enforce environmentally friendly management. However, constraints such as household awareness and behavior make government policies more difficult to implement. Therefore, determining household awareness of and behavior toward e-waste management systems in Shah Alam city is the purpose of this paper. A screening form sent to households based on the specified criteria resulted in 10 participants being selected for the survey in January 2022. The results of the study showed that household awareness and behavior regarding e-waste management in Shah Alam have become complicated due to the generation, separation, and recycling aspects. As a long-term sustainability approach, this study highlights the need for encouraging environmentally friendly practices and educating people on how to minimize electronic waste while still fulfilling household needs
