A descriptive cross-sectional design was administered to 253 respondents purposively sampled. This study collected data during October 2017 to July 2018 using a questionnaire.

Sex (P=.012), age (P=.009), education levels (P<.001), and residential type (P=.018) statistically and significantly influenced their awareness towards household hazardous waste management. Sex (P=.023), age (P<.001), education (P=.002), and residential type (P=.011) statistically and significantly related with their attitudes towards household hazardous waste management.
