Abstract

For years Bandung City has problems in its municipal waste management, due to a limitation of service coverage and transfer station (TPS) facilities and its management. One of the government’s efforts to solve the problems was by implementing a waste-free area program, known as Kawasan Bebas Sampah (KBS). One way to support the KBS program is by having a waste transfer station with reduce-reuse-recycle treatment facilities (TPS 3R). The purpose of this study was to identify the potential TPS to be functioned as TPS 3R and evaluate its transfer operation system. This study was conducted by selecting potential TPS, collecting its infrastructure data, supporting equipment, and waste vehicles by observation, interview, and physical measurements (for 8 days) to identificating its existing operational and evaluating its collection-transfer operation system according to Regulation of The Minister of Public Works No 03, 2013. The criteria selection was developed based on government regulations, stakeholder interview, and related policies. It was identified that TPS Patrakomala was the most potential TPS to be functioned as TPS 3R, but still operates without scheduled operation system. In TPS Patrakomala, the waste vehicles consisted of four conventional handcarts, eight motor bikes, and two pick-up cars per day, collecting waste respectively 1,4; 2,6; 3,6 m3/trip, which were done 2 trips/day. At the end, a city dump truck will pick up the waste from TPS Patrakomala once or twice a day, with a capacity of either 10, 13 or 14 m3. Even with the average waste transported were above the truck capacity (respectively 20; 22; 26 m3/truck/trip) there were still some waste unstransported from TPS. In the near future, the result of this study will be used to design a TPS 3R which is expectedly contribute to the improvement of wast managementin Bandung City.
