A test-retest method was employed, and the data were administered with the help of an assistant. The collected data were presented in frequency distribution tables and analyzed using simple percentages. Key findings revealed that 75% of respondents believed that seasonal variations contribute to indiscriminate waste disposal, while 55% did not consider the lack of infrastructure as a contributing factor. The study concludes that indiscriminate waste disposal in Makama Jahun leads to unsanitary conditions and environmental pollution, exacerbated by irregular municipal waste services and various environmental factors. Recommendations include educating the community on the dangers of improper waste disposal, supporting markets for recycled materials, and implementing government policies to prevent waste generation.
