The amount of e-waste is increasing due to the growing demand for electronic products. In estimating the amount of e-waste generation in the household sector and its potential in cities in Indonesia, research was conducted in Bogor City. This research was conducted by collecting primary data through the distribution of structured surveys and secondary data obtained by literature study. E-waste data collection in the survey was conducted by approaching the most electronic products owned by Bogor City residents. E-waste generation was calculated using a simple delay model and the public willingness to participate and pay for e-waste management was analyzed. The types of electronic products reviewed in this study include mobile phones, fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, wall clocks, irons, laptops, televisions, cameras, lamps, and game consoles. Based on 157 respondents with each respondent representing one household, the e-waste generation from the household sector for native Bogor City residents in 2023 was estimated at 5,007.8 tons/year and for immigrant residents in Bogor City was estimated at 12 tons/year. In 2052, the generation is estimated to reach 14,398.6 tons/year for natives and 29.7 tons/year for migrants. In addition, a review of the level of public willingness to participate and pay for the management of electronic waste is also carried out. It was also found that respondent attributes have no influence on the willingness to participate and pay for e-waste management. The e-waste management recommendations given are the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy, infrastructure development, informal sector transformation, and increased community participation.
