This paper aims to understand e-waste recycling behavior of Generation Y. It presents a pilot study that explores this generation's e-waste recycling practices, their attitudes towards e-waste recycling, and the barriers to e-waste recycling. The findings reveal the complexity of the actual e-waste recycling behavior, many participants in this study hold a positive attitude towards e-waste recycling, yet there is a shortage of convenient recycling options and e-waste recycling information. Based on the Motivation-Opportunity-Abilities model, this paper also uncovers the decision-making process involved in each recycling action. We use these findings to present a preliminary analysis of design implications to provoke design ideas and services that support e-waste recycling, and discuss our further research direction.
