<![CDATA[The waste management strategy carried out by the Morotai Island Regency Environmental Service is principally the efforts and/or initiatives of the Regional Government in overcoming waste problems in Morotai, especially in the 8 (eight) villages that are included in the administrative area of South Morotai District. The results of this study indicate that the waste management strategy carried out by the Morotai Island Regency Environmental Service can be considered not optimal. This can be seen from the pattern of waste management in Morotai DLH which is still communal and still very simple, covering container, collection, transfer, transportation and final disposal. This management pattern is not in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management. The waste management system in Morotai has not touched on the basic patterns of a maximal waste management system such as sorting, processing and/or utilization (recycling) and final processing. It is suspected that the waste management system in Morotai is not yet optimal because there is no Integrated Management Unit (UPT) in the waste sector due to limited human resources, facilities and infrastructure including financing. The dual factor that hinders solid waste management in Morotai is the lack of public awareness of waste problems and their impacts.]]>
