Sažetak
Waste is one of the biggest ecological problems we are facing today and, besides state and local institutions and companies, every citizen has an important role to play. The aim of this paper was to examine the attitudes of the citizens in Osječko-baranjska County regarding waste management problem. The research sought to find out how much citizen's environmental attitudes are reflected on their day-to-day waste management. The survey was conducted on a sample of 203 citizens. Research findings have shown that there is a disproportion between the citizens’ perception of waste as the biggest ecological problem and their daily waste management. The solutions to the problem are therefore better education of citizens, better organization and improvement of the waste management system, as well as the change and implementation of regulations that would financially penalize those who treated waste inadequately and would financially motivate those who do it appropriately.
