Abstract

Due to the large amount of waste generation in Pringsewu Regency, community-based waste management sites such as TPST were created through the KOTAKU program. One of the TPSTs in Pringsewu Regency is the Sidomandiri Sidoharjo TPST with the number of households that have participated in the Sidomandiri Sidoharjo TPST as much as 16.65% of the total Pekon Sidoharjo households. The aim of the research is to analyze the type and volume of each type of waste managed by Sidomandiri Sidoharjo TPST and to analyze the level of community participation in waste management at Sidomandiri Sidoharjo TPST. The method used is descriptive quantitative with a sampling technique in the form of simple random sampling and measurement using a Likert scale. The results showed that the sources of waste in TPST came from households, restaurants and schools. The volume of waste receipts for 2023 from January to April is 92 m3, 88 m3, 85 m3 and 107 m3. Types of waste include organic, inorganic and residual waste. Then the level of community participation in the form of thoughts, energy and skills is included in the low category. While the participation of goods and money is included in the medium category. So based on the overall results, the level of community participation is in the low category with a score of 2.10.
