Waste Management Modelling In Siak Regency

Abstract

Abstract: Siak regency is located in an area that extends from the coast of the sea (the Strait) to the mainland
of Sumatra and irrigated by the Siak River which is the deepest river in Indonesia. The dynamics of community
and industrial activities in this area have a negative impact on the amount of waste production every day which
is not properly managed. This study aims to analyze the waste management in Siak Regency, and to create a
waste management model in Siak Regency. The research method used is a survey, literature study, and interviews
with the government involved in waste management, private parties / companies and respondents in 14 subdistricts
in Siak Regency. The results showed that the waste management by Siak Regency was still low with the
existence of environmentally unfriendly waste management practices and the implementation of the 3R System
was low. To achieve a good environmentally friendly waste management, the waste management model in Siak
Regency is formulated schematically from the existing conditions related to the 5 (five) main points of waste
management, namely: (1) promoting the understanding of the concept of zero waste to minimize waste
production; (2) developing waste banks and creative waste-based industries and increasing the role of garbage
scavengers and collectors to apply the waste sorting method; (3) develop techniques and transportation of
segregated waste to facilitate the final waste in the final dumpsite (TPA); (4) carry out a backfill system in local
waste processing; and (5) developing an integrated waste processing method to obtain the benefit value of the
waste. To implement this waste management model, active commitment and support is needed in the form of
cooperation between the community, local government and the private sector / company.
