Solid Waste Reduction Through 3R-Based Waste Management Unit and Waste Bank in Indonesia in 2018

In Indonesia, waste reduction program done at the community level, through 3R-based waste management(TPS3R) unit and waste bank, has a national target of 30% in the period of 2017-2025 under PresidentialRegulation No.97 Year 2017. An effective waste reduction effort can be measured by two main indicators,first is the percentage of recycled waste, and other indicator related to legal, financial, service coverage,and community participation. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of solid waste reduction throughTPS3R and waste bank services in three cities, Depok, Bogor, and South Tangerang. A cross-sectional studywas done collecting data from multiple sources namely municipality’s record, regional policy, and officialgovernment news. The results showed that the percentage of effectiveness of waste reduction to landfill inthree cities has not reached the national target, which was still below 5%. The highest effectiveness of wastereduction by TPS3R and waste bank was achieved by Depok which has 3R related local regulation. The citywith largest budgeting allocation for solid waste management was Depok. YetBogor with a budget allocationof 2.2% could achieve the value of half effectiveness of Depok. South Tangerang with the best coverage ofTPS3R unit services has the lowest effectiveness value despite its high Human Development Index (HDI)value. Likewise, TPS3R services had higher effectiveness for reducing waste than the waste bank.
