Study of Solid Waste Management at the West Java Province Bappeda Office

Abstract

The condition of the Landfill of Sarimukti which has exceeded capacity has led to the issuance of West Java Province Regional Secretary Circular Letter No. 11/PBLS.04/DLH/2023 concerning Waste Management in Regencies and Cities and Regional Apparatus of West Java Province. As a follow-up to the publication of this letter, a study regarding solid waste management at the West Java Province Bappeda Office was carried out as an evaluation and improvement effort, as well as being the first step to realizing complete waste management in office environments, especially in related offices. The research stages were carried out through interviews and field sampling which was carried out over 5 working days and was limited to canteen and kitchen activities which were the main sources of organic waste within the Office. Guidelines for procedures used in field sampling refer to SNI 19-3964-1994. Through this research it was found that the waste generation from the Office is currently 254,355 kg/month. A total of 20,693 Kg/Month of valuable inorganic waste has been processed at the Bandung City Main Waste Bank, while 118,605 Kg/Month of organic waste has still not been processed so it goes straight to the landfill. The composition of valuable inorganic waste is dominated by paper waste (28.75%) while organic waste is dominated by non-food waste (72.55%). The recommended efforts for processing organic waste are with three options, namely “Losedaâ€, “Ember Bioporiâ€, and “Drum Komposterâ€. The smallest total budget plan for this project is by using “Ember Bioporiâ€, which is IDR 736,000.00. Meanwhile, the largest total budget plan is by using “Losedaâ€, which is IDR 3,994,000.00.
