Abstract

Waste is one of the problems in Indonesia. Waste that is not managed correctly can lead to waste generation. One of the methods to reduce waste is the 3R System through a waste bank. However, the reality that happens in the field is that many waste banks are challenging to develop. This plan aims to plan the concept of capacity building and formulate waste bank strategies in Semarang City, especially the Banyumanik, Tembalang, and Tugu Sector. The methods used in this planning are waste sampling (SNI 19-3964-1994), recycling rate, and SWOT analysis. This planning shows the same trend that the largest inorganic waste generation in Banyumanik Sector is cardboard by 23%, in Tembalang Sector and Tugu Sector are also cardboard by 32% and 24%. For the next five years, the planned recycling rate has met 50%, namely for Banyumanik sector at 57.79%, Tembalang sector at 61.19%, and Tugu sector at 58.69%. The SWOT analysis found that there are four strategies for developing waste banks: the preparation of an organized and systematic flow of inorganic waste sales, formation of diversified activities, completeness of documents, and cooperation with third parties.
