Comparison of municipal solid waste landfill management in Depok City and Klaten Regency

Abstract

Management at a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) is necessary to save the environment from pollution. MSWLF, which previously used a sanitary landfill system, has changed to an open dumping system. An open dumping system can cause decay to the environment. This study aims to compare municipal solid waste disposal site management in two different regions. The research location is Depok City and Klaten Regency. This research was carried out from February to April 2022 with data collection techniques carried out by interview techniques, field observations, and literature studies. The analysis technique was carried out using descriptive analysis to describe the current management conditions of the two regions. In addition, it uses Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats (SWOT) analysis to obtain recommendations for management improvements that can apply in the region. The Cipayung MSWF which was originally built with a sanitary landfill system has turned into open dumping, while the Troketon MSWLF is currently still able to process incoming waste using a controlled landfill system. The difference in the management of the two MSWLFs is influenced by financing, operational, and institutional aspects.
