Garbage Management Policy in the Regency of Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia

Garbage has become a critical problem in Indonesia and even in the world, including in Banyumas Regency. This study aims to see how the garbage management policy in the Regency of Banyumas. Garbage management that is still conventional is limited to collecting and moving or disposing of it to the Final Disposal Site (FDS) is only a temporary handling of waste that will only create a time bomb. It is still warm in the minds of Banyumas people how the effect is caused by the rejection of the community around the Gunung Tugel FDS and Kaliori FDS at the end of 2018. Nearly 4 months the community was confused about disposing of garbage. Because the temporary garbage shelters have been overloaded, which in turn is closed by the surrounding community. As a result, in almost every corner of the Banyumas Regency, especially in Purwokerto, piles of rubbish can be found and the environment becomes dirty. To overcome this problem, the relevant agencies issue a policy on independent waste management. However, it is unfortunate that the policy seems rushed and has many shortcomings, including: the policy is top down and does not involve public participation; quick and brief policy socialization; reactive and short-term policies.
