The development of urban infrastructure, especially those relating to waste handling, is an urgent need for preventing environmental pollution. Until now, the waste problem is still a very difficult problem to overcome, especially about the Final Disposal Site (TPA), which is still mostly done by open dumping, and weaknesses in operation have a strong tendency towards environmental pollution and even interfere with human health and safety. TPPAS Legok Nangka is an Eastern Regional TPA produced from the concept of GBWMC (Greater Bandung Waste Management Corporation) which consists of 5 service areas namely Bandung City, Bandung Regency, Cimahi City, Sumedang Regency, and Garut Regency. Based on calculation data, the number of a mixed waste generation that will enter the Legok Nangka TPPAS is 1220.7 tons/day. Of course, if the waste directly experiences a landfill process, it is not good. Because of that, the construction of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) is expected to reduce the amount of waste generation that will be landfilled. The designed MRF is a semi-mechanical type of MRF and is planned to operate until 2030. In the end, the waste that can be recycled and still has a sale and economic value will be sorted according to the type. Organic waste generated will be continued to the Organic Processing Center, and Hazardous waste will be continued to third parties Hazardous waste management.
