【 摘 要 】

This study aims to estimate solid waste generation and its composition of households in Medan City. Medan Labuhan and Medan Tuntungan sub-districts were selected as study area. Data of this study was collected in 2017. The estimation of waste generation was conducted based on Indonesian standard SNI 19-3964-1994. The study found that the household solid waste generation in Medan Labuhan generated 0.233 kg/person/day of solid waste and 0.254 kg/person/day in Medan Tuntungan. The result in composition revealed three main fractions they are 45.2- 52.3% of organic waste, followed by 19.5-23.7% of plastic, 12.513.1% of paper and other fraction such as wood, glass, textile, and metal. This study showed a potential of recyclable materials in the composition of household waste. It is necessary to initiate minimizing of waste generation, reusing, separating, and recycling waste.
