This study examines eco-piety, the relationship between the community's religious obedience and environmentally friendly behaviour, including waste donation. Two things are obtained from this waste donation: first, donation, or shadaqa, is a simple practice considered light but with an extraordinary impact for both the giver and the recipient. Secondly, it benefits waste management through recycling, reuse, or repurposing. This practice is muamalah but also has environmental impacts. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, data collection was carried out through literature reviews and interviews, accompanied by a survey using a convenience sampling procedure of West Java residents who completed an e-questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, and analysed using logistic regression. The study found that the values of religious obedience and environmentally friendly behaviour are not strongly related. 78% of respondents identified themselves as devout Muslims, and 83% knew verses and hadiths related to environmental protection. From these figures, it is hoped that this is directly proportional to the high public interest in giving alms to waste, thereby helping overcome the waste problem in Indonesia, especially in West Java. However, only 54% supported the waste charity program. Further research is needed to demonstrate how this waste charity can be implemented effectively to provide financial, environmental, and religious benefits.
