The growth of small-to-medium-sized motorcycle repair shops in Soloraya has increased the amount of waste that has the potential to pollute the environment if not managed properly. This study analyzes the characteristics of repair shops, the types and amounts of waste, management practices, and the potential economic value from a sustainability perspective. The study was conducted at ten repair shops (n = 10) through observation, structured interviews, and surveys. In one month, the ten workshops produced 1,214 used oil bottles, 337 liters of used oil, and 20 used batteries, as well as non-hazardous waste in the form of metal components and brake pads. The dominance of used bottles and oil reflects the high level of routine maintenance. Management is still limited to temporary storage and delivery to third parties with substandard facilities. Waste has economic value: oil at Rp1,500/liter, batteries and metal at Rp12,000/kg, indicating both environmental risks and circular economic opportunities.
