Abstract

Effective and environmentally sustainable management of organic waste remains a major challenge at Bank Sampah Berkah Srikandi, a community-based waste management initiative located in Pondok Bambu, East Jakarta. The outcomes indicate that the incinerator at Bank Sampah Berkah Srikandi was successfully upgraded and optimized. The redesigned system enhanced operator safety, combustion efficiency, and ease of maintenance while significantly reducing emission levels. Continuous community engagement further strengthened residents’ capacity to operate and maintain the incinerator effectively, promoting sustainability in organic waste management practices. Overall, this program demonstrates the importance of integrating technical innovation with community education to achieve long-term environmental sustainability. The results also suggest that such community-based technological interventions can serve as a model for other waste banks and urban settlements in Indonesia facing similar waste management challenges.
