This study aims to determine the relationship of the characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes of housewives with 3R-based waste management at Titi Rantai Village in 2024. This research is a type of quantitative study using a cross-sectional approach with accidental sampling technique, with a sample size of 88 people.
