The amount of non-organic waste produced daily by households such as plastic bags, food wraps, straws, cigarette butts and styrofoam. All of these items will not be destroyed in the soil in a short period of time because it can take decades and even hundreds of years to decompose by microbes in the soil, even styrofoam can not be destroyed. For organic waste produced by households such as food waste, fruit peels and vegetable pieces During the processing of waste, both organic and non-organic is handed over in landfill (Landfill) and one day landfill will be full so that new land should be searched. If this cycle continues, there will be a mountain of garbage and there is a gas explosion from the garbage pile. Therefore, there needs to be integrated processing carried out through waste banks, organic waste processed into compost and biopori wells. Then non-organic waste is managed and processed into ecobrik, here there is an educational value given to the community to be more concerned with environmental pollution that comes from everyday garbage. The first model run by the waste bank with the education of each household to sort the garbage from the household, where the garbage is divided in two namely: first dalah waste food waste that has been cooked such as fish bones, chicken bones and rice, this will all be included in biopori wells that are useful for the decay process and also keep the water catchment, this biopori well has a depth of 1 meter with a diamater of 6 cm. The second is un cooked garbage such as fruit peels and pieces of vegetables, this will later be made into compost fertilizer. The second model run by waste banks is to provide education to separate non-organic waste such as plastic bags, food wraps, straws, cigarette butts and styrofoam, this will be processed into ecobrik which is paving blocks with burning process. These two models and education are expected to be a model of waste management as an environmentally friendly solution, whereby the waste bank that manages it can be established at the level of RT or RW with an average number of 200 family heads. The resulting compost and ecobrik are sold by garbage bank managers and become a source of income for the waste bank.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
