Waste and Towny Accountability

There is problem which more essential besides criminality, beggary and juvenile delinquency, which is tacling waste. This problem never is finished since progressively year continually increase its volume, accordingly problem becomes to increase for example getting narrow it farm that utilized by unruk Dump (TPS). Evenless while kampong citizen / close to area TPS objection if its scrapheap amount is added again. But present waste have become towny business, where can they own process independent ala..

Since colonial era, waste really as problem which is hard to be solved. Since reducing marks sense towny consciousness in process this family waste, particularly at kampongs. Kampong society at that time process waste by traditional which is gather waste is operated an a fixed place then gutted by burnt close to their area stays, or discards waste go to River and canal. Even there is that letting to decay.
 

Time residents are mostly garbage, organic waste is food for rats to trigger the illness PES. Hence, a town government Soerabaia trying to overcome, namely by imposing regulations that mulaidisosialisasi waste in 1929. Regulation of solid waste is about preventing waste by cleaning garbage in the streets, and provide waste places in villages for waste disposal and enables officers to take it (2 times a day and taken during the night) and then placed in disposal site Garbage (who was still there Simpang area later in the year 1930 was moved to the area of polling stations on the East Reef Menjangan Gubeng Station, which is now used as B Airlangga University Campus and Hospital Dr Soetomo).

But still left some problems that can not be resolved, namely the public awareness of the problem. They tend to throw garbage in the yard of his home and open water channels. To the extent the government explained in a tone of frustration, "when this waste regulations come into force in villages, everything went very well, because it was new and had long waited for. But when it was some time ago one after the bin is damaged and replaced with trash, but trash is also in the long run is also lost. And finally discarded trash are at home again and in the channels of open water. "
 

Regulation of garbage outside the effective or enforceable in the township complex, waste reduction is sucking a lot of labor, either as a driver, administrative and personnel coarse waste transporter. At least people can live from the trash. Surabaya at that time only 8280 ha area comprising the area Nyamplungan, Kapasan, Krangkan, Kupang, Krembangan, Kayoon in the year 1906 to 1930, then evolved kekawasan Gubeng and Darmo, with a population of about 400,000 inhabitants in 1940. Now the size of Surabaya has increased to 326.36 km2, divided into 31 districts and 162 villages with a population of 2.8 million people, certainly represents a remarkable improvement from the period of Dutch rule that requires a more apt solution in tackling the waste problem this.

Takakura and Public Attention

Trash from the kinds divided into two parts, including wet garbage which consists of the former food, dead plants and other objects are easily destroyed by the bacteria, while not easy Dry waste was destroyed by bacteria such as plastic, cans, paper, etc

In the dry waste requires processing by machine or other device that can be used and utilized as a new item, which was then referred to as recycling. While the composting process requires wet sambah menghancurkannyadan fortunately become ingredients for tanaman.Pada some time ago was done by way of reduction of waste segregation by type of garbage above. With the facility where the waste two places to facilitate the public to dispose of waste according to the parts that have been determined.

Time processing of dry waste so much effort, involving several layers of society, including the factories to manage such waste. And do not miss any part scavengers earn a living from this waste. Yet according to a source of research on the composition of solid waste in Surabaya in 2002 together with the government of Kitakyushu, identify the composition of the waste consists of waste paper 15.5%, 14.2% and other plastic waste 14.7%, whereas it was found that the kitchen waste consisting of 55.6%. So that the optimization of dry waste reduction is less able to solve this waste problem.

Driven by low public awareness not to litter which is a wild waste, dispose of trash in the gutter, other waterways and the River. The presence of street vendors and markets that are sidewalks along streets that potentially creates a wild waste, product packaging that can not be processed again and the lack of knowledge about the use of waste simply by selling a good result. Therefore requires another form of the solution in waste reduction.

According to the percentage composition of waste in Surabaya, identified that it is the largest producer of household waste from wet waste types. So that waste management should be from the source and in a way that can be done in the house.

Because of that later appeared "Takakura". Management by wet garbage composting or outlines of the rotting rice and side dishes, and other materials in a basket (Takakura), then mixed with the compost that has been provided and were then allowed to break down the waste during the first month so that the fertilizer, which may be used for grow plants at home.

Trash the second dry waste processing requires equipment or machinery where households can not be sold to scavengers. Thus freed from household garbage a profitable manner.

However, independently of processing waste is a challenge when there is no will of society in the implementation of this method, because the orientation and objectives not met with the initiators hope "Takakura" it. Because the instant culture that has been entrenched in their way to process their own waste. There are even people who provided "Takakura" free is not used to manage waste but are used for containers of dirty clothes. For that we need the existence of a new orientation and sosialisasiyang more rooted in the implementation of waste management programs independently of this. Where there should be thinking about the distribution of independently processing waste before, whether it be for agricultural or ornamental plant producers and others.

Socialization level, RT was done by the extension of citizens with a favorable image of citizens of this independent processing waste. So dengaan so the urge to treat their own waste is certainly widespread acclaim from the public. So rubbish really the responsibility of citizens of the City.
