dc.description.abstractToday, because of technological innovations, types and production of electric and electronic equipment is increasing. As a result of this, rapid consumption is also gaining speed. Recovery of electronic waste is important when considering its potential negative effects to the environment and considering its materials that already have economical values. This study is an analysis of the level of consumer choice of e-waste in Nigde-Aksaray Province. A survey was conducted to evaluate the level of knowledge about e-waste in the province and also e-waste and waste management perspectives were evaluated. Statistical package for the social sciences has been used for Likert scale analysis. After analyzing the survey, the results showed that consumers do not have clear information about electronic and electric equipment (EEE). Only 22% of the participants suggested that e-waste recycling was more significant than other sorts of recycling. When the users were made aware of the topic, they were highly motivated to contribute to the EEE recycling. According to the responses, the important resource materials could be gained after recycling e-waste in order to preserve natural resources. Moreover, 39% of the respondents supported the municipality controlled e-waste collection centers for increasing the number of collected e-waste. In addition, the fact that people were willing to participate in e-waste collection campaigns would guide future management strategies for e-waste in these provinces.
