Abstract

Household waste that is not properly managed has the potential to pollute the environment and disrupt health. Providing information and knowledge to the public on proper household waste management is one of the efforts to preserve the environment and improve independent household waste control. The daily amount of organic waste generated from households reaches up to 40% of the total waste generated. Hence, household waste control heavily contributes to reducing the amount of waste transported to the Final Processing Site. Such a program can be carried out by identifying and analyzing an appropriate and beneficial household waste control plan at the household level. Data collecting in this study was conducted online, towards 548 respondents in Bekasi City, Indonesia. Laboratory tests were also carried out on the results of fermentation of household waste samples to analyze the content of organic waste components produced from households. The results showed that the community is still not optimal in managing household waste as only 33% of respondents are known to have utilized organic waste generated from households. The results of laboratory analysis showed that organic waste generated from households has components similar to commercial fertilizers. Considering the similar components of organic waste generated from households with commercial fertilizer, show the potential benefit from organic waste utilization. Further research regarding the benefits of fertilizer from household organic waste, and the benefit comparison with commercial fertilizers would be able to increase public trust and awareness to manage their household waste. Proper waste management on the household level would significantly reduce the volume of waste transported to the Final Processing Site.
