Waste generation of Bandung is currently projected at 1.549 ton/day and this number will continue to grow as the population of Bandung increases. The composition of waste that is transported to landfill is 43% inorganic waste. Until now, Bandung’s landfill is at Sarimukti, but because it does not have large area, the government planned to make a new landfill called Legok Nangka. The location of Legok Nangka landfill is further than Sarimukti landfill, therefore the government planned to build Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) in Bandung to reduce the volume of waste transported to Legok Nangka landfill, thus the cost of transporting waste is reduced. MRF will be located at Sadang Serang, Coblong, Bandung. The MRF is designed to have a capacity of 50 ton/day and provide TPS with radius 2,34 km that are TPS Sadang Serang, TPS Sukaluyu, TPS Taman Sari, TPS Babakan Siliwangi, and TPS Ambon. The sorting activity at MRF is planned will be done manually and mechanically. The equipment that planned to be used at MRF are conveyor belt, hopper, trommel screen, pulley magnetic, eddy current separator, air classifier, shear shredder, and horizontal baler. The waste categories, which are planned to be sort, are colored paper, cardboard, magazine, HVS, newspaper, OCC, duplex, iron, aluminum, tin, stainless steel, zinc, brass, copper, PET, HDPE, LDPE, and glass. Disaggregated inorganic waste will be sold to third parties, which is recycling companies; organic waste will be transported to POO or SPA to process into compost. Hazardous waste will be transported to hazardous landfill, and residual waste will be transported to the landfill. This project has NPV <0 so it needs subsidies from several parties.
