The impact of household waste can affect environmental pollution such as a decrease in water quality which will affect the health level of living things and the environment. This has been stated in the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 81 of 2012 concerning Management of Household Waste and Household-like Waste. In the processing of household waste or waste there are obstacles such as a lack of concern for the household environment itself, as well as a lack of landfills and a lack of strict law enforcement for violators, which creates obstacles for the community in managing household waste. There are several ways of planning and managing household waste, such as recycling, burning, sorting, composting and decomposing waste.
