A good waste management is important to overcome the impact of massive growth in population. For a proper planning to be made, an accurate waste data that is in accordance to the real condition is needed. But, to create such good data, it takes high cost and manpower, since according to SNI 19-3964-1995 and SNI M 36-1991-2003 standard, the sampling must be done for 8 days in a row. <br /> <br /> Rather than 8-days waste sampling, a similar amount of waste can be sampled by a shorter period, combining the days into 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 days combination. From the results, it is shown that daily waste production for dometic waste is 0.33 kg/person/day and 3.47 L/person/day, while daily waste production for non-dometic waste is 0.13 kg/person/day and 2,29 L/person/day. The calculation carried out with paired-samples t test showing that the best combination in Babakan Sari for domestic waste is 4-days sampling combination in kg/person/day and L/person/day unit, while the best combination in Babakan Sari for non-domestic waste is 6-days sampling combination in kg/person/day and and 3-days sampling combination in L/person/day unit. This best days combination result a similar with 7-days sampling combination. <br /> <br />
