Mobile Phone Disposal

A number of studies have examined existing and desired e-waste disposal options (Maes, & Preston-Whyte, 2022; Bimir, 2020; Oteng-Ababio & Grant, 2020) and concluded that providing WMPs disposal mediums will result in a considerable increase in WMPs disposal and recycling rates. However, this proposal ignores the population's hoarding and clutter behavior, which have a substantial impact on disposal rates (Nowakowski, 2019; Nasir, 2017).

This study used students at the University of Education in Winneba, Ghana, as a case study to assess the effects of hoarding and cluttering of WMPs in Ghana if disposal alternatives are accessible. Students were chosen as a research group due to the high percentage of mobile phone users among them, as well as the fact that they represent a wide range of socioeconomic groups from all around Ghana. All undergraduate students at the three campuses of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) in the Winneba municipality comprised the study's target group.
