Abstract

Waste is a major issue in the environmental field. Daily garbage in Malang City reaches 661.12 tons per day. Of this amount, 202.96 tons per day are managed by the people of Malang City. The remaining 458.16 tons per day is transported to the existing landfill in Supiturang. The composition of Malang city waste consists of organic waste (70.5%) and inorganic waste (29.5%); meanwhile, the potential of methane gas in the Supiturang landfill is based on the GIZ count of 4521 tons per year. Of this amount, only 3% has been utilized as a substitute for LPG gas by the public and as an electric generator drive, so this research uses the assessment of the potential development of the One Village-Owned Enterprises Urban Program on MSMEs in Malang, East Java Province, based on waste management in driving the community's economy as a most effective solution.
