Abstract

The volume of waste and limited land to disposal accompanied and high population growth, where this statement also by the technical waste management still conventional. Waste management urban especially in residential areas until now generally is done through the stage of activity as follows, namely: packing the garbage, collecting garbage from the houses to LPS (disposal depot), transferring garbage directly to LPA (Final Disposal Site) or from LPS ( Temporary Disposal Site) to LPA, until the waste is disposed in LPA. Shortly, garbage from urban area contains 10 % (weight) material that can be recycled ( paper, iron, cans, etc ), 50 % of them is organic matter and 40 % of residue. Then, 60 % ( weight) dump can be recycled: 10 % can be reused, and 50 % can be composited ( anonymous, 1992 ). The data from Surabaya’s Sanitary Agency mentions that the total of daily volume of garbage in Surabaya is 79,19 % that all of them form the household. Integrated waste management systems need to combine reduction the waste, recycling & reusing, compositing, the incinerating and final disposal. Reduction source of garbage for industry need zero-waste technology and simple/minimal packing products that has environmentally friendly. While, the habitual of wasteful should be left for the households .Then, the approach recycling and reusing applied particularly to the non-organic like paper, plastic, aluminum, glass, metal and others. A lack of awareness of waste and the level of public consumption and other activities make the waste kept piled up in the final disposal site ( LPA) . Waste commonly found in the landfill among other bottles beverages , detergents , and plastic bags .The waste the less attractive makes us reluctant to see an even a glance at. In fact if we want to try, the waste can become business opportunities. Even if we want to manage it properly, this business could be the power source. Most cans is made of aluminum through a process that require a lot of energy. Garbage cans recyclable with melt and made aluminum as a starter new products .Thus, can additional energy sources, pollution can be reduced , and resources bauxite , lime and sodium carbonate as a starter aluminum can be efficient.
