Abstract

Community-based waste management is an effective and sustainable approach to addressing waste problems. Through active citizen participation, the program promotes environmental awareness, collective responsibility, and efficient waste management at the local level. This research uses a mixed method with interviews and SWOT analysis to produce a picture of the waste condition in Depok City. Community-Based Waste Management is a waste management that involves all levels (active participation) of society with the aim that people realize that waste problems are the responsibility of all levels of society. The purpose of this research is to provide real efforts in tackling existing waste with community participation. Based on the research conducted, it is concluded that integrated waste management with the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, and recycle) has been implemented in all sub-districts in Depok City. Waste management is also carried out with the formation of waste banks in each neighborhood (RW). The community is involved through the sorting of organic, inorganic and residual waste. This research focuses on the main approach, namely physical and biological waste management strategies. Physical and biological waste management is differentiated on an individual scale and an area scale to overcome the problem of waste that is directly disposed of in landfills.
