Abstract

Waste mismanagement remains a pressing social issue that negatively affects the environtment, health, and the visual quality of communities. In Riau, factors such as poor infrastructure, low public awareness, and weak regulations contribute to improper household waste disposal, particularly along riverbanks, leading to environtmental degradation, flooding, and disease outbreaks like dhiarrea and dengue. In Buluhcina, the lack of proper waste collection and sorting systems drives residents to burnt their trash, which increases air pollution and poses long-term health threats, including cancer. This research aims to describe how households manage waste in Buluhcina Village, Kampar Regency. This study used a descriptive observational method with questionnaires administered to 110 household in Buluhcina Village, Kampar Regency. The data were analyzed narratively in tables. This study shows that 91,82% household burnt their waste, 21,05% do not own trash bin in their home, 81,58% do not sort their waste, 15,21% still dispose of waste into rivers. Additionally, there are no waste collectors in the area. This study reflects critical shotchomings in local wate management. The ongoing practices not only endanger the ecosystem through land and water pollution but also increase public health risks.  To resolve these issues, improvements in infrastructure, waste education, and systems that support 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) principles are essential. Moreoever, the active role of the Village Head in establishing access to waste trasnfer stations is vital to support better waste handling in the community.
