Abstract: Waste disposal and management is one of the factors affecting the environment. Public awareness in waste management is very much needed to assist the government in dealing with waste problems The physical condition of urban areas is increasingly narrow and the lack of open space for waste management needs to be increased by community participation in waste management so that the community is able to independently care for the environment. The purpose of this study are: (1) to determining the effect of social conditions of housewives in Poasia District on waste management; (2) to determining the effect of environmental knowledge of housewives in Poasia District on waste management. This research method is a qualitative research method by conducting multiple linear regression analysis on the application of SPSS version 16.0. The results of this study are: (1) the social conditions of housewives (age, education, employment, and income) affect the waste management. This is evidenced by the multiple linear regression test obtained a significant value of social conditions (X1) of 0,771 and t value of 0,292; (2) environmental knowledge of housewives influences waste management. This is evidenced by the results of multiple linear regression tests obtained a significant value of knowledge (X2) of 0,000 and t value of 5,565. Therefore, Anggoeya Village needs to get special attention from the government, because the region has the largest volume of waste in Poasia District, but the social condition of housewives is still lower when compared to other regions such as Anduonohu and Anggoeya.
