Studi Komparasi Komposter Berbasis Masyarakat

AbstrakSampah organik merupakan sampah dominan di  Bank sampah Sahdu, maka perlu pengolahan untuk mengurangi timbulan sampah organik di TPA. Penelitian ini membandingkan 3 jenis komposter aerob di Bank sampah Sahdu yaitu bata terawang, drum dan takakura. Jenis sampah yang digunakan adalah sampah organik campuran (sisa makanan dan sampah halaman). Kapasitas komposter bata terawang, drum dan takakura dapat menampung sampah per harinya dari 456, 210 dan 20 sumber. Kinerja komposter bata terawang, drum dan takakura dalam mengolah sampah organik menjadi kompos adalah 53,45%, 48,27% dan 56,01%. Kualitas kompos yang dihasilkan seluruh komposter memenuhi baku mutu, kecuali parameter pH kompos dari hasil komposter drum tidak memenuhi baku mutu. Kata kunci: sampah organik, bank sampah, komposter aerobik.Abstract Organic waste is the most dominant waste produced, thus the reduction of this type of waste will reduce waste entering the landfill. This research aims were to compare the performance of 3 types of aerobic composters in Waste bank Sahdu which are brick overlay, drum and takakura. The wastes used in this research is mixed organic waste (food waste and yard waste). The capacity of brick overlay, drum and takakura are able to treat waste per day from 456, 210 and 20 households respectively. As related to their performance, the bric overlay, drum and takakura are able to treat 53,45%, 48,27% and 56,01% of organic waste into compost, respectively. The compost quality that produced by all composter has met the standard quality, except pH parameters from the composter drum. Keyword: organic waste, waste bank, aerobic composter.
