WEST JAVA - The Karawang Regency DPRD is finalizing the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on the Implementation of Waste Banks. This step is to anticipate the problem of buildup and the large number of garbage in temporary disposal sites and the Jalupang Final Disposal Site (TPA).

"This Raperda on Waste Banks will be a solution to waste problems from upstream to downstream," said the Head of the Special Committee for the Regional Regulation on the Implementation of the Karawang DPRD Waste Bank, Mahpudin, in Karawang, West Java, quoted from Antara, Saturday, November 19.

He hopes that in the future there will be no garbage scattered in temporary disposal sites, because basically garbage can be used.

Later on, the waste bank will play a role in the implementation of the 3R concept or reuse, reduce and recycle. This concept is expected to be a solution to solving the waste problem.

He said, actually currently Karawang already has a parent waste bank and a unit waste bank. But over time, the two types of waste banks were not active.

"With regulations on waste banks, later it is hoped that waste banks that are currently dead can be reactivated, even bringing up more waste banks in Karawang that can do 3R," he said.

The thing that needs to be considered, he said, is that when regulations about waste banks have been formed, followed by the emergence of waste banks, the Karawang Regency Government must provide its support.

That way, the implementation of waste banks can be implemented optimally.

Mahpudin reminded that later, if the Regional Regulation on the Implementation of Waste Banks is ratified, the Karawang Regency Government will immediately issue a regent's regulation regarding this matter. So that the regulation can be immediately applied.
