Government regulation No.18 Year 2012 requires that local government must amend its waste system to be more environmentally focused, made local governments changed its transfer station became compaction transfer station. The examples are Tegalega Compaction Transfer Station in Bandung and Sangkuriang Compaction Transfer Station on Cimahi. Compaction transfer Station is a waste processing unit which has advantage of reduction on its waste transport cost (financial benefit) and reduction of landfill space necessity (environmental benefit). In general, the process is by compacting the waste with the compactor machine, so that the density of the waste is increased. The research was started with pleminary survey to look at the condition of compaction transfer station, then data collecting, analysis the data and finally the output whether the compaction transfer station is effective or not. In the study, it was found that compaction transfer station obtained from Tegalega had average daily volume of 127.8 m3/day and Sangkuriang with 57.52 m3/day. The majority of the incoming waste is generally Indonesian type, which is came from food waste (59 percent). The compaction transfer station is proven to economically and environmentally effective, with the resulting reduction in volume is 42.8 percent or 2.45 percent with weight scale in Tegalega, or 34,3 percent reduction by volume in Sangkuriang. Economic benefit from the compaction transfer station in Tegalega is 16.48 percent cheaper the regular transfer station (volume based) and 17.16 percent cheaper on weight based. That economic benefits come from the reduction of transportation cost from the higher density. The increasing of density is 176,04 kg/m3 after compaction from 103,27 kg/m3 before compaction. However, when compared to similar studies overseas, with pressure power of 3045 psi, the compaction transfer station is still less effective in term of decreasing volume, lowering the moisture content and raising its density.
