Waste pollution is environmental problem on an international level that is particularly important to an island which is limited area, as well as where is little management capacity to carry the number of future wastes. This article aims to present the reviewed relevant documents about waste management education; a kind of tool in which to reach the environmental education objectives. These are an increasing of knowledge, awareness, attitude, skills, and participation for all stakeholders in order to reduce the number of waste volume. Two keywords were used to search from the secondary data which are environmental education (EE.) and waste management. The waste management was mainly focused to the education process only on island. The results found that waste management education conducted in all educational systems promoted both children and adults in different processes and settings. For example; educational set, waste management program, learning activities, and waste training manual. Moreover, the designed contents were varieties; such as, waste issues, effects from wastes, waste management, waste disposal, and waste separation by practice. However; not all of them reached the EE objectives. Consequently, this information will be useful for the future research about waste management education in island context.
