摘要：Waste disposal is a challenge for all societies around the world. This study focuses on the understanding of waste disposal patterns and perceives impact of littering in Mamelodi township in Pretoria. Based on the data collected from 135 respondents, the study found that numerous reasons were provided for littering in the township. These vary from a lack of environmental education and information, laziness and a “don’t care” attitude to not having enough rubbish bins and a lack of accessibility to appropriate infrastructure. A small number of respondents state that the culture of littering and dirty places perpetuates the littering behavior and some say they are creating employment opportunities for waste pickers. There is willingness amongst residents to embrace the concept of a green environment in Mamelodi.
