Community-based waste management is a vital step toward creating a clean and sustainable urban environment. Waste Banks act as community-driven hubs, encouraging residents to sort and manage waste independently at the neighborhood level, including RT, RW, and sub-districts.

The document serves as an official record, highlighting the role of communities in reducing waste and promoting environmentally responsible behavior.
