This article discusses the implementation of the 'Bank Sampah' program in Indonesia, which aims to support the country's goal of becoming clean from waste by 2025. The program involves the establishment of community-based waste banks where people can bring their recyclable waste in exchange for money or other incentives. The collected waste is then sorted, processed, and sold to recycling companies. The article emphasizes the benefits of the program, including the reduction of waste in landfills, the creation of job opportunities, and the promotion of environmental awareness among the public. The waste bank program has been successful in several cities in Indonesia, and the government plans to expand it to more regions in the country.
