Primary data were collected from households, markets, scavengers, agents of small and large agents inorganic waste recycling business. Descriptive analysis methods include behavioral analysis, analysis of the characteristics of household rubbish, garbage value analysis of inorganic and margin analysis. Linear Regression analysis method (Ordinary Least Square) to see the effect of these variables on the path towards economic scavengers Household and Final Disposal.

Trash aqua glass, waste paper HVS, copper and garbage bins clear glass bottle is a kind of inorganic waste which has a high sales value per kilogram. Household garbage Marketing paths more effectively and profitably than the path landfill. Household scavenger pathway is more prosperous than landfill scavengers path.

Summary
INTRODUCTION arbage is a crucial issue faced by people, in cities and those living in the suburbs. The increase in waste generation reaches 2-4% every year, but this increase is not followed by the availability of infrastructure and facilities for adequate waste so that the remaining waste that has not been transported spoils the beauty of the city.
