The respondents involved in this study consisted of G7 contractors in Johor Bahru, Johor. A total of 217 questionnaires were distributed and 91 responses were received back with a percentage of 42 percent. The data collection used in this study is a quantitative method through the distribution of questionnaire’s form to obtain primary data, while secondary data are obtained from the reading of reference materials and literature review. The results of this study found that most contractors know the construction waste management regulation that is being enforced.
