The increasing use of electronic devices with increasingly affordable prices continues to increase the amount of electronic and electrical waste generation (e-waste). However, there’s no specific technical requirements about the e-waste management in Indonesia. In addition, e-waste is contained of hazardous materials, which make it managed under the hazardous waste management regulation. Besides, e-waste can be recycled and its components has an economic value. This research is conducted to estimating the potential e-waste generation, as well as its potential management and potential recycle in Malang City. In this research the primary data were collected twice through a questionnaire. Preliminary questionnaire was distributed to determine 15 most owned electronic products by Malang City residents as research objects, where handphone, laptop, television, fan, iron, refrigerator, printer, washing machine, camera, dispenser, PC, AC, tablet, radio, and vacuum cleaner were selected. The main questionnaire was distributed to determine the potential household e-waste generation, willingness to participate, willingness to pay, and ability to pay to 102 respondents/household which calculated using the Yamane Formula using the proportional random sampling. The potential household e-waste generation were calculated using the time step model and delay model method. According to the result of e-waste calculation in Malang City, e-waste is estimated to reach 5,213.56 tons by 2021, 5,401.51 tons by 2030, and 11,266.98 tons by 2050. This research also gives the e-waste management system recommendation such as collecting activity, storage, and transporting activity. The analysis of materials that can be recycled from e-waste show that there are 36.4% metal, 23.5% glass, 21.8% plastic, 9.3% electronic components, and 0.1% battery. For respondents’ willingness to participate in e-waste management, 98% respondents are willing to sort out their e-waste and 100% respondents are willing to dispose their waste if there are available facilities. In addition, from this study it is known that e-waste management funding has not been collected by withdrawing the levy to the community. Thus, it is recommended the implementation of EPR system where producers are responsible for funding electronic waste management and consumers (communities) get incentives from electronic waste collection activities.
