The increase of population and purchasing power, supported by the development of technology, give consequence to the generation of E-waste with impacts. The result from 63 shops in Toul Kork showed that the management and behaviour is still limited, both in terms of storage and disposal. Protective equipment during the disassembly and repair of EEE, most of the repairers or dismantlers are still unaware of the impact. The amount of waste of electrical and electronic equipment is worrying due to its increase from year to year. According to the results obtained from the study, the electronic waste (phone-85% and computer-15%) generated 0.36 kg/day/shop on working day and 0.9kg/day/shop on holiday or weekend, while amount waste generated from electrical shop is lower (0.2kg/day/shop) and there is no any differentiation between working day and holiday. However, in this study indicated that waste from electrical is mainly AC and refrigerator accounted for 35.7% and 42.9%, respectively, while electronic generated phone waste and computer waste accounted for 74.3% and 25.7%, respectively. Regarding to waste storage, both electronic and electrical shops keep the waste by mixing up to 80%, while electronic waste was disposed with other waste (46%), keeping (22%) and selling (32%) and electrical waste was disposed with other waste (32%), keeping (43%) and selling (25%).
