Popis: Indonesian government has promoted to establish Community Based Waste Management (CBWM) in Indonesia to increase the resource recovery rate and to reduce the amount of landfilling waste in stead of conventional the waste management. In CBWM, recyclable materials are recovered by neighborhood communities and only the residual waste is landfilled. Although CBWM can contribute to the reduction of green house gas emission and conservation of resources, the effectiveness of CBWM on the reduction of waste is an clear due to a lack of detailed information about CBWM such as economic benefit, waste flow and its sustainability. The aims of this study are to identify the waste flow in common CBWM in Indonesia and to evaluate the effectiveness of CBWM for reduction of MSW carried to a landfill site. The TPS3R Dadaprejo Mandiri (DM-TPS) in Dadaprejo Village, Batu City, Indonesia was investigated as a case of CBWM. Waste composition was surveyed for 8 consecutive days on three separate occasions in 2021 and 2022. Each resource was weighed and measured at each step of the process to analyze waste flow. Monthly data summarizing the amount of each resource separated at DM-TPS was obtained from their records. Information about the amount of waste and resources collected by the 13 waste banks was obtained by interviewing the administrators of those waste banks. The amount of waste carried to DM-TPS during the first, second, and third surveys averaged 5.61, 6.65, and 5.40 t/day, respectively. Of the 9 categories of waste, the largest was the organic waste. Fruits and vegetables made up the largest percentage of resources followed by plastic bags. The average resource recovery rate was approximately 15.2%. However, the composition survey revealed that the potential resource recovery rate was approximately 39.5%. In order to increase of resource recovery rate, the corporation of households on simple source separation at home would be required.
