Abstract

Waste management system (WMS) is complex problem in most of big cities in Indonesia, including Bandung City. Even the problem of WMS in Bandung City has become a classic problem. Therefore, various WMS have been done by new Mayor Bandung since he was elected since 2013. In fact, most of Bandung City's WMS is not successful. There are many factors that cause the programs to be unsuccessful. The waste reduction policy is top down model from government to the society. For example, adopting a Western waste bin from a plastic bag which does not match the type of household waste in Bandung. The new WMS of Bandung City is self-management system by Perusahaan Daerah (PD) Kebersihan. In addition, the prevention program of waste carried out up to the sub districts or Kelurahan level with the establishment of a special team called as Tim Gorong-gorong dan Kebersihan (abbreviated as Tim Gober). The Tim Gober's main task is to clean up the garbage in each Kelurahan such as in the parks, streets, ditches and street gutters. The existence of Gober team causes the involvement of the community to be reduced such as eliminating community service or Kerja Bakti. Whereas, community participation as a main producer of waste is very important. Therefore, government policy on WMS should start from the community.
