Abstract

Garbage is the residue of human daily activities and natural processes in solid form. This study aims to determine how the management of the waste disposal process at the Cibereum TPA Sumedang Regency in 2022. As much as 17 percent, or about 11.6 million tons, was contributed by plastic waste. The composition of national waste shows a tendency to increase the generation of plastic waste from 11% in 2010 to 17% in 2021 (Ministry of Environment and Forestry, 2021).The method used is a qualitative method. Data collection techniques used interview techniques, documentation and literature study using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method with purposive sampling. The Department of Environment and Forestry said that the generation of waste is increasing every day but the target to reduce the volume of waste by 70% (42.35m3) has reached 30% (18.15m3) from 60.5m3 per day.The bureaucratic structure prepared by the Environment and Forestry Service in the field of waste at the Cibereum TPA has not been implemented properly. For this reason, it is expected to advocate for the need for Sumedang Regency government policies for waste management
