| dc.description.abstract | The Garbage Bank Program is a policy that is motivated by the large
amount of waste in the community that is not managed properly. The purpose of
holding this waste bank program is to reduce waste in the community environment
while reducing the pile of waste in the TPA (Final Processing Site) so that it does
not exceeding the specified load limit. However, the Sejahterah waste bank
program in Medan Deli District has not been implemented effectively because
there are several obstacles related to resources, processes, results and
productivity levels. This study aims to describe and analyze more deeply the
effectiveness of the Waste Bank Program in reducing waste in Medan Deli
District.
The research method used in this research is descriptive research with a
qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using interviews,
observation, documentation, and literature techniques. Data were analyzed
qualitatively with a measure of effectiveness according to Sedarmayanti (2009)
including; input (input), process (process), output (results), and productivity
(productivity).
The research results show that; Firstly, the inputs which include human
resources, capital and infrastructure are inadequate because the waste bank runs
voluntarily so there are no funds to pay workers which results in a limited number
of human resources working and limited infrastructure to manage waste. Both
processes have carried out good socialization and communication, but the
socialization has not been comprehensive so it has not achieved the target. The
three outputs (results) of the waste bank program are able to produce craft
products that have economic value and can reduce the amount of waste each year
in Medan Deli District. However, the amount of production output and waste
reduction is not comparable with the waste managed. Fourthly, there are
obstacles to productivity: the use of unsupportive technology, inadequate raw
materials, lack of innovation in waste management, unclear worker salary levels,
and waste management training has been carried out. Thus, the various obstacles
described must be addressed to realize the effectiveness of the waste bank
program in reducing waste in Medan Deli District. | en_US |
