Abstract

The waste bank is one application of waste management by utilizing waste that can be reused, which in the end can be used to reduce the waste dumped into landfills. In order to reduce the significant amount of waste dumped into landfills, there should be at least one waste bank operates at a city-scale. Thus, a tool to assess the readiness of a waste bank to function at a city-scale is needed. In the past, studies on the development of index were undertaken simply based on a desk-study method. This study aimed to refine the previous index. This was done by first reviewing the previous indicator through a literature review, which was then verified by the application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the weights for each indicator. The respondents for AHP applications were selected from four categories namely professional experts, academics, institutions and management representatives of the waste bank. At the end of the study, three components, thirteen indicators and sixty-one sub-indicators were identified. The name of the components and their respective weights were Management System (55%), Operating System (25%) and Waste Bank Facility (20%). Each component had 4-5 indicators and 2-8 sub-indicators. In the near future, the index developed from this study will be used to assess the readiness of Resik Bandung and Cimahi City Waste Bank to be developed as city-scale waste banks.
