Abstract

The hundreds to thousands of tons of waste generated every day by Semarang City residents has resulted in an increase in waste generation at the landfill, including the Jatibarang landfill. This condition will continue to increase along with waste management that is not carried out in accordance with existing laws and regulations. Waste management must be carried out in a systematic, comprehensive, and sustainable manner, including its reduction and handling. This study aims to determine the extent to which waste management at the Jatibarang Landfill is implemented according to regulations related to waste management. This research generally conducts studies to compare actual conditions with existing policies. Jatibarang landfill, which is still implementing the Open Dumping system, has not been able to solve the problem of waste generation. Various efforts such as waste sorting activities, processing waste into fertilizer, the existence of a methane gas canteen, and a leachate processing pond that have been carried out to manage waste at the Jatibarang landfill have not fully shown maximum results. This causes various impacts, including the decline in environmental quality, pollution of the water quality of the Kreo River, and the decline in the health of humans and other living creatures. The results of this study indicate that the waste management process at the Jatibarang landfill has not fully implemented the Laws and Regulations concerning waste management.
