Nowadays in Malaysia, riverine litter has become a major environmental problem. Knowledge of solid waste generation, composition and recyclability is necessary for accurate decision making in the management strategy of municipal solid waste. This study is conducted to assess riverine litter and its recycling potential along Sungai Kelantan at Kampung Pasir Era Kelantan. The objectives are to determine the generation and composition of riverine litter and to evaluate the recycling potential of the litter. The waste samples are collected over a 14-day period at three different zones within the study area. Through quantification method, composition, proportion and the average daily total weight of the litter were determined. Findings show that the total weight of waste collected for all zones throughout the 14 days operation was found to be 70.912 kg out of which the upper-bank generated 25.9 kg. The result also shows that plastic has the highest contribution to riverine litter with 68.20%. Additionally, estimated revenue from potentially recyclable litter generated in 14 days was RM33.96. This study provides the local authority and relevant agencies with baseline information for effective management of riverine litter based on recycling potentials.

“…The waste bank is one of the systems for promoting the collection of recyclable waste and educating the public about the importance of recycling (Alias et al, 2019). Therefore, waste banks can solve the municipal solid waste problem by applying the 3R principle (Warmadewanthi and Haqq, 2019).…”

Aim: This study aims to analyze the recycling potential of solid waste in Jatinegara sub-district as a basis for optimizing solid waste management with the 3R principle. Methodology and Results: The sampling method to calculate the waste generation rate and composition was based on SNI 19-3964-1994. The sampling results showed that the average waste generation of Jatinegara sub-district was 0.22 kg/person/day or 2.02 liters/person/day. With a population of 328,345 in 2020, the waste generation is 663,055 L/day or 663.05 m3/day. The waste composition comprises 55.02% organic waste and 44.98% non-organic waste. The composition of organic waste that has the potential to be reprocessed is 38.52%. The potential for recycling non-organic waste is determined by identifying the types of waste that waste banks can accept. The composition of non-organic waste that can be recycled is 26.11%. Non-organic waste that has the potential to be sold to waste banks is 96.26% of total plastic waste, 100% of paper waste, 100% of metal waste, and 100% of glass/glass waste. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The total waste that can be recycled in Jatinegara sub-district is 64.62%, and the residue generated is 35.38%. Recycling can reduce waste to 372.76 m3/day.

Bersinar waste bank is one of the waste management units in Bandung. The Bersinar waste bank is a solution to reduce waste generation at the sarimukti TPA, Bandung. Waste managed by Bersinar waste bank is in the form of organic and inorganic waste. This study aims to identify the methods of processing waste and processing products at the bersinar waste bank in Bandung. This research is qualitative research. The stages of this research are problem identification, literature review, determination of research aims and objectives, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and reporting. This research data collection is divided into two, namely primary data (observation) and secondary data obtained from books or scientific journals (literature review). The results of the identification of waste processing methods at the bersinar waste bank can be concluded that the bersinar waste bank uses physical, biological, and thermal methods. The first method to reduce waste is to process organic waste using maggot technology as a decomposer of organic waste into compost. the second method is the use of a bottle press to produce a cube of bottle waste. The third method is processing used baby diaper waste using a hydrothermal reactor machine and processing it into fibre to produce pock brick.
