Penguatan Sistem Bank Sampah melalui Pengadaan Mesin Screw Press di Kampung Herbal Jangkungan Surabaya

Abstract

Plastic waste, especially disposable cups and bottles, is a major problem in Jangkungan Herbal Village, Surabaya. This is because it is difficult to store, requires large space, and is difficult to transport, making waste bank officers unable to do their jobs efficiently. The purpose of this community service program is to improve the efficiency of plastic waste management using appropriate technology and citizen participation. To strengthen the community-based management system, the Kampung Herbal Waste Bank was established to increase residents knowledge about the importance of waste management, provide technical training on sorting, and assist the use of screw press shredding machines made to overcome land limitations. The existence of a screw press machine is expected to improve storage and transportation efficiency, reduce the volume of plastic waste, and increase public awareness of an environmentally friendly environment
