| Summary: | The increasing needs of the community can cause the waste to also increase, including household hazardous waste. People generally dispose the hazardous waste still mixed with other household domestic waste so that it has the potential to cause a danger to the environment. Sukasari subdistrict is one of the sub-districts in Bandung City that is crowded by settlements so that it can trigger the increase of household hazardous waste. The purpose of this study is to determine the composition, characteristics, generation, potential impact of household hazardous waste, and also determine the recommendations of household hazardous waste management in Sukasari Subdistrict. This research is a field study and conducted descriptive analysis of the data that has been obtained, then evaluated. Household hazardous waste in the study location had a percentage of 4.34% of the total waste generated, or 0.0095 kg / person / day in weight units or 0.1075 l / person / day in volume units. The composition of the most produced household hazardous waste in Sukasari District consists of 27.37% self-care and beauty product packaging waste, 25.16% home maintenance product packaging, 19.96% packaging of medicines/medical waste, 15.58% sanitary napkins waste, and 10.02% electronic waste. The characteristics of household hazardous waste at the study location consisted of 68.35% toxic waste, 25.45% corrosive, 23.55% infectious, 10.02% reactive, 7.93% flammable, and 3.90% explosive. The potential impact of household hazardous waste is causing poisoning, acute effects, chronic effects, irritation to the skin, carrying pathogenic organisms that can transmit disease, and carcinogenic to human health, as well as resulting in soil pollution, water pollution, and dead water biota (toxic to aquatic organisms). Recommendations for household hazardous waste management in Sukasari Subdistrict are sorting with separate containers, provision of space for hazardous waste on collecting devices, separation and storage of hazardous waste based on characteristics in TPS, transportation and processing of hazardous waste in accordance with PP 22/2021, and landfilling at the final hazardous waste landfill facilities. |
