Depok Municipality targeted that in 2014 Depok will have 2,000 locations to reduce 40 percent of the waste generated in Depok. The organic waste is composted either in UPS (waste treatment facility for organic waste) or through homemade compost. Both inorganic and organic waste creates economic value after the sorting: the inorganic waste will be recycled and the organic waste will be composted. Waste bankprogram as community initiative supports government program by changing people’s behavior to sort their waste. During June 2013 – December 2013 alone, the number of waste bank increased from 60 to almost 400 locations. Established in 2011, now there are more than 500 waste banks in Depok Municipality. It emerges as a community-based program driven by waste bank administrators who work on voluntary basis with little incentive in terms of money.

Waste bank is a bank that uses inorganic waste as deposit. Several policies introduced are not effective to reduce waste.ĭespite the lack of success of government in solving waste problem, some communities in Depok established what so called ‘Bank Sampah’ (waste bank). From this amount, Depok Municipality has capacity to collect less than a third of total waste generated.
