Abstract

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a challenging task due to waste that is not separated at the source. This study believes the importance of promoting MSW separation at the source (SAS). Numerous articles reveal the role of knowledge and attitude in motivating the households’ pro-environmental behavior. Thus, this study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning waste SAS program in Lao Cai city, Vietnam. The results showed that the households in the city of Vietnam had a positive knowledge and attitude towards MSW SAS. Despite it, the public has inadequate knowledge about some aspects of MSW SAS program. While the results from the ordinary least square regression model had strongly indicated the positive effect of attitude and knowledge toward MSW SAS program, this study still recommends for the enhancement of the information and education campaigns for the program with the help of potential role models in the city. In addition, this article also investigated the relationship between households’ KAP and the perception of households about the new waste collection and treatment fee option under Vietnam’s Law on Environmental Protection 2020, which needs special attention and strategies to gain support among the city’s populace.
