(Resarchgate, 2025) Mutekanga, David R; Byakuno, Wilson; Kibirige, Israel Prof,
Efficient segregation of waste is essential globally; however, it faces major challenges especially in the management of household solid waste. The study aimed to identify individual and institutional factors associated to compliance with household solid waste segregation at the primary source of generation in Kasangati Town Council, Central Uganda. A quantitative approach was used, and a questionnaire was applied to 334 respondents from three wards of the Town Council. Data were analysed using bi-variate, multivariate, and descriptive statistics. The results indicate that many respondents believe better domestic solid waste segregation can be achieved through public education. There was a high statistically correlation between household heads' compliance and the knowledge factor. Lastly, the results indicate a strong correlation between residential solid waste segregation compliance in this Town Council and the individual and institutional factors. The study recommends that all households get education to increase their awareness of the importance and usefulness of solid waste segregation and that this will allow other factors to be effectively appreciated
