Abstract

Waste bank is one of community waste management scheme that is widely applied in Bogor City. The existence of waste banks can reduce waste disposed to landfill and provide economic incentives for people who save and sort their waste. In its implementation, most of waste bank in Bogor City cannot be sustainable. This condition is presumed because the management of waste bank still depends on subsidies and it's managed voluntarily by the community so that is unable to cover operational costs when there are no subsidies and people who want to participate voluntarily. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the feasibility of waste banks if managed independently without subsidies and their workforce is not voluntary. Rangga Mekar Waste Bank was made a case study because it is one of the pilot waste banks in Bogor City. The analytical method used is income analysis, R / C ratio analysis, Break Event Point (BEP) analysis. The results of the feasibility analysis show that in order to be sustainable, the waste bank must manage a minimum of 38.167,03 kg/year of inorganic waste and minimum number of customers as many as 247 households.
