Currently the condition of Magelang Muncipality is said to be a "waste emergency" considering the rate of waste production (waste volume) which continues to increase every year is inversely proportional to the rate of waste reduction programs and the decreasing capacity of TPSA.

The main problem of waste management in Magelang Municipality lies in limited land. Therefore, it is necessary to study the efforts that will be developed as far as possible that do not require a large area of ​​land but can produce optimal waste management. In addition, these efforts involve various parties, especially those that focus on community empowerment. This research uses desk research method.
