Indonesia initiated “Waste-free Indonesia 2020” campaign, one of the implementations to reach the goal is through solid waste bank programs. The Government encourages the growth of solid waste banks nationwide. Adopting a bank system, the solid waste bank is a community-based activity to facilitate people in solid waste recycling. With this system, the community deposits waste and earns money. The objective of this study is to assess the environment and the economy of solid waste bank activities as a part of municipal solid waste management in Indonesia. The study analyses the effectiveness of solid waste bank management to become environmentally and economically. This study uses a life cycle assessment method to estimate the environmental impact by using CO2 as an evaluation indicator. The economic performance was determined by measuring the cost and benefit of the solid waste bank activity. Researchers expect that the solid waste bank is an environmentally friendly and low-cost activity to enhance the recycling rate in Indonesia. This study found that solid waste bank could save 37.73 tonnes CO2 eq. per year and contribute 7 million rupiahs per year as external benefits. The results of this study are expected to help the waste bank to improve its system and can be used as necessary information for policymakers to recognize and integrate waste banks into municipal solid waste management systems.
