Abstract

Organic and anorganic waste in Palu city has exceeded the capacity of the service and the existing waste management facilities so that waste piling up in landfills while (TPS), and locations of residential areas around the watershed that eventually the waste to the sea. Comprehensive research is needed to formulate the management of such waste. It is given because the higher the level of human activity residing in the city of Palu, has brought the issue of marine pollution in the Palu bay, namely through the waste dump along the Watershed (DAS) Palu which empties into the sea. It can be seen through the rubbish heaps of the sea at low tide, be it in the estuaries and bays along the coast of Palu. So far, the management of coastal waste less attention than the waste in the city. It is time for the attention given to the coastal environment is given the function of these coast systemic interplay of other ecosystems. Integrated management and the sustainable coastal environment will preserve it so that its function will be maintained properly and as intended. The success of this integrated waste management depends on community participation, as the main producer of waste.
