Waste management system on Badung River area in Bali

Abstract

The issue of waste is still a serious problem in Denpasar, Bali. Low levels of public awareness make the city view worse. Badung River, which passes through residential areas, is always filled with garbage every day. This uncontrolled waste production is caused by shipments of waste from the Upper and Middle parts of the Badung River catchment area and the level of public awareness that is still lacking in the environment. The origin of the contents of the garbage in the Badung River comes from human activities and nature. Research on this waste problem uses questionnaires by taking samples in the survey area based on 8 locations taken from the tributary meeting to the Badung River. This research shows that the implementation of good policies improves good behaviour compared to the implementation of policies in poor categories. The solid waste management system in the Badung River catchment area is the same, which is divided into waste generation, storage, collection, transfer disposal and waste disposal. So that it can be seen that solid waste management systems, such as the sorting process and the 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle), are still very little attention to the community around the Badung River catchment area.
