There was the correlation of attitude (p=<0.001) and the availability of facility and infrastructure (p=<0.001) with people’s behavior in managing waste. The variable which had the most dominant correlation was the variable of attitude (p=<0.001; Exp(β)=8.7 95%CI 3.167-99.318) which indicated that families that had negative attitude had the possibility of 8.7 times to have bad behavior in managing waste compared with those who had positive attitude.
