WASTE MANAGEMENT SITES - REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE (TPS3R) CONSTRUCTION STUDY IN SEKANAK AREA, PALEMBANG CITY

Abstract

In Palembang, one of Indonesia's major municipalities, there were several challenges with the solid waste management system, notably in families. Adopting the 3R strategy to reduce waste production is one way to address the waste problem in Palembang (reuse, reduce, recycle). The Reduce-Reuse-Recycle Waste Management Site, or TPS3R, is located in Indonesia. It follows a pattern of waste management on a local or regional scale. One of the numerous tributaries of the Musi River, a significant river in this city that passes through Palembang, is the Sekanak River. The accumulation of waste in the drainage channel and its tributaries is one of the factors contributing to the decline in river water quality. Near the center of the city, the Sekanak region extends along the river's about 10-meter-wide course. Due to the fact that many residents who live close to rivers neglect waste management, the quality of the river water is damaged. It is projected that the TPS3R construction will be able to address the waste issue in the Sekanak area by looking at social, technological, and TPS3R feasibility development factors. The approach of the feasibility study is made up of the stages of work activities, preparatory activities, field surveys, data collection, analytical activities, and activity plan recommendations. The total investment cost for the 15 m × 20 m facility that makes up TPS3R is IDR 290,824,000. The cost of building the infrastructure and purchasing the equipment are included in this amount. Over the course of four days, the weight of organic waste per person per day ranged from 259.60 to 395.07 grams, with an average of 307.12 grams, whereas the weight of non-organic trash per day ranged from 114.02 to 188.85 grams. Average daily intake is 149.34 grams per person
