Abstract

Household waste is the most significant contributor to the accumulation of waste in the final processing area. Indonesia produces 65.2 million waste per year. Improper waste management practices in Indonesia require evaluation steps to achieve sustainable waste management. This study aims to formulate an evaluation instrument for the implementation of household waste management using the analysis of the Household Waste Control Index (HWCI) calculation. This study uses quantitative methods by collecting data from a survey of 548 waste bank members spread across 12 districts in Bekasi City and using the analysis of the calculation of the Household Waste Control Index. Based on the study results, it is known that the implementation of household waste management in Bekasi City is in the moderate category (5.86 out of 10), and the governance of household waste management at the community level still needs to be improved. Furthermore, based on the validation results, it is concluded that the household waste control index can be recommended as an instrument to measure, evaluate, and consider recommendations for waste management policies to realize sustainable household waste management in Bekasi City and other areas that have similar conditions to Bekasi City.
