Analisis Pengolahan Sampah Reduce Reuse dan Recycle untuk Mengurangi Beban Penumpukan Sampah di Kota Bekasi

Abstract

Waste management in large cities like Bekasi is a major challenge in achieving sustainable development. The implementation of the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) through 3R-Based Waste Processing Sites (TPS3R) is the main solution. This study analyzed five TPS3Rs in Bekasi City: Bina Lindung, Prima Harapan, Sakura Regency, Mustika Sari, and Ciketing Udik. The objectives were to assess the amount of waste, observe processing methods, and formulate waste management strategies using quantitative and qualitative methods. Samples were collected from various numbers of households. TPS3R Bina Lindung and Sakura Regency each sampled 80 households, including a mix of permanent, semi-permanent, and non-permanent houses. TPS3R Prima Harapan sampled 28 households, Mustika Sari 160 households, and Ciketing Udik 49 households. The results show varying levels of waste management effectiveness. Mustika Sari achieved the highest effectiveness of 97.58%, followed by Sakura Regency at 92.39%, Prima Harapan at 50%, Ciketing Udik at 5.71%, and Bina Lindung at 2.67%. The SWOT analysis shows that the success of waste management is greatly influenced by the reuse of recycled materials. However, weaknesses include a lack of public awareness and low community participation in environmental initiatives. Community support is very potential, especially in reducing paper, plastic, and bottle waste. On the other hand, challenges include limited training for TPS3R operators and the infrequent processing of organic waste by residents.
