Analisis pengelolaan limbah oli bekas pada pelaku usaha bengkel mobil di kelurahan Cipamokolan kota Bandung

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of hazardous and toxic waste (B3), specifically used oil waste, generated by small automobile workshops in Cipamokolan Village. The disposal of used oil into the environment can have negative impacts, such as soil infertility, plant death, and health issues for the surrounding community. This research employs a qualitative method with data collection through observation, interviews, and questionnaire distribution. The data analysis technique utilizes a triangulation approach, which includes data collection, data analysis, verification, and conclusion drawing. Data verification is conducted through confirmation from research subjects, data analysis, and validation by expert faculty members. The research is carried out by observing two randomly selected small automobile workshops in Cipamokolan Village. The findings indicate that a portion of the used oil waste is handed over to oil collection services, while the remaining portion is used as a lubricant for compressor machines. Therefore, there is a need for educational efforts to enhance the understanding of automobile workshop operators regarding the management of used oil waste. It is expected that these efforts will improve the awareness of automobile workshop operators in relation to the handling of used oil waste, thereby reducing the negative impact of environmental pollution.
