Abstract
Black Soldier Flies (BSF) is a type of fly that is larger than ordinary flies and is famous for its ability to consume and reduce organic waste, especially kitchen organic waste (KOW). KOW processing using BSF will be carried out in Kecamatan Cibiru, Bandung City, so the characteristics of KOW produced by the community need to be analyzed. The number of samples is calculated based on SNI M 36-1991 on Method of Taking and Measuring Example of Formation and Composition of Municipal Waste, obtained 63 households, which are then divided into 3 income groups. Results show the average KOW generation in populations with high, medium and low incomes are 0.223, 0.153, and 0.103 kg/person/day, respectively. Based on the speed of consuming KOW by BSF where the composition of KOW is divided into 3 categories, the results are obtained that 47% KOW is consumed quickly, 29% KOW is consumed slowly, and 24% KOW is not consumed. It was also found that the high income population turned out to contribute the highest fast eaten KOW compared to the middle and low income population. This turned out to be influenced by cooking patterns and patterns of handling leftovers.
