Waste-Intensive Work as an Embodiment of Sustainability of Business Entities Owned by Mitra Raharja Village, Ciwaruga Village

Abstract

Community behavior in managing waste is influenced by knowledge and public awareness of the 
environment to reduce the volume of waste. The waste management unit established in Ciwaruga 
Village, Parompong District, West Bandung Regency is an alternative for the community to manage 
household waste. With creative skills and ideas, household waste can be used to add economic value 
and open up opportunities for people to increase their income. The method used is appreciative inquiry 
and working out loud. The result is increasing public awareness of the environment with waste 
management, improving the administrative system and organizational structure of Village-owned 
enterprises, and empowering the community to add economic value to the use of household waste.
