The purpose of this study is to examine the factors affecting household involvement in recycling activities in the location of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. This study adopted the Theory of Planned Behavior Model (TPB) and Theory of Reasoned Action Model (TRA) to identify the relationship between the independent variables (attitudes, social norms, perceived behavioral control, moral norms) and dependent variable (recycling behavior) towards household involvement in recycling activities.
