The data in this survey is going to be used for a waste management perception and behaviour analysis for my
school's science project. For my school project, we also plan on developing a waste-management solution for
our society. The conclusion of this project will be to show that if we become a minimal waste generating
society, then we will help the city and our environment by reducing transportation and open dumping of our
valuable resources.
Thank you for your time and effort.
