Waste consists of household waste, waste similar to household waste, and specific waste. Waste generated in the campus area is included in household type such as plastic waste, and specific waste especially if it used hazardous materials or contains hazardous and toxic waste in campus laboratories. So that good waste management must be applied to improve the health of the academic civitas and maintain the quality of the campus environment.
