Siti Rahmah, Miftah Chairani Hairuddin

Abstract


Offices is one of the place that has a high potential for waste production because there are regular users who have routine activities every working day. The composition of waste needs to be known in order to determine the most efficient and appropriate way of processing waste so that it could be applied. It is necessary to know the specific weight of waste to manage the waste transportation system, about the equipment used to transport waste to the Waste Final Shelter. Described the specific weight and composition of waste in the offices. This research is a descriptive research. The sample is the amount of waste in the Governor of West Sulawesi Office. The sampling technique is total sampling. The research instrument is form in SNI 19-3964-1194. The data analysis performed is descriptive analysis. The specific weight measured based on waste carried out for eight consecutive days at the same location. The results fluctuated every day. The composition of waste are food waste, plastic, paper, and other types and and the largest type of waste was food waste at 4.90 kg/day or 48.84%/day. The building D has the highest specific weight of waste average compared to the other buildings (6.15 kg/m3) and has the highest total type of waste (16.94 kg/day). The specific weight of the waste ranged from 2.69 kg/m3 – 6.15 kg/m3 and the higher composition of aste is food waste.
