It was determined that the level of knowledge attitude and behavior of sample group had the middle level and we found that sex, academic year and faculty had related to knowledge level, attitude and behavior of solid waste management at statistically significant at level 0.05. The female had all score level higher than male and the fourth-year student had the score of knowledge and attitude was higher than another academic year because they had more information for a long time.
Students are the most important person for solid waste management in education institutions because they are the largest number of education institutions and generated most solid waste. If they had suitable behavior such as separate solid waste or recycle solid waste it can reduce the budget of solid waste management and the amount of solid waste in education institutions.
