Sort Garbage from Home, Pondokgede Residents Urged to Reduce Landfill Burden

According to Zainal, the existence of waste banks at the neighborhood level (RW) has an important role in building this habit. It is hoped that the waste bank will not only be a storage place, but also a center for waste management education for the community.

Waste bank managers are also encouraged to have a system for picking up economically valuable waste that has been sorted by residents. This mechanism can make things easier for the community while increasing participation in waste management from its source.

Through an orderly sorting and collection system, waste that has been considered discarded can be converted into goods of economic and useful value. At the same time, the amount of waste that must be transported to the landfill can be reduced.

"From waste, a mutualistic symbiosis can actually be created. If we manage it wisely, the community can benefit. I will continue to carry out outreach and not get bored of reminding residents to sort the waste they produce," stressed Zainal. SEO Toolkit
