Waste is something which is not used anymore, disliked or discarded from human activities and
is not produced by itself. In the study sites, i.e. State Elementary Schools of Panggang and Puluhan,
which are located in Argomulyo, Sedayu, Bantul Regency, waste bins that are intended
to sort the waste by printing the instruction on it, have been provided. But the instruction was
not clear enough for the students. This study applied patterned waste bins to facilitate the stu- dents in sorting their wastes to the right places. The patterned bins utilized the existing ones by
changing the appearance without reducing the function. There were three kinds of bins, i.e. se- parately for paper wastes, plastic and bottle wastes, and leaves and food wastes. The type of
the study was a post-test only control group designed experiment. Panggang State Elementary
School was appointed as the treatment group, meanwhile Puluhan State Elementary School
was as the control. The data about the waste which were appropriately dumped into the right
bins were observed daily after school for a month. The average of the observation then were
analysed by using independent t-test at α = 0,05; and the results show that the application of
patterned bins influences students’ bahavior to throw their wastes in place. This conclusion is
because of the instructions of the bins are easy to follow and the students were interested with
the pictures. Keywords : patterned waste bin, waste sorting behavior
