Abstract

Waste bank is one of the informal sectors of community-based waste management in Indonesia. The establishment of a waste bank will certainly better if it starts with a mentoring program such as educating the waste bank administrator team and the society about the waste bank system and the importance of managing waste from sources. A waste bank with a mentoring program is expected to produce a better level of knowledge, perception and attitude of the community towards waste management. This study aims to compare Waste Bank A, which has received a mentoring program and Waste Bank B, which has not received a mentoring program. The results of the study stated that the variable levels of knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), intentions and behavior were significantly different between Waste Bank A and Waste Bank B. The average amount of segregated waste in Waste Bank A is 2.4 kg per respondent, while in Waste Bank B it is 1.5 kg per respondent.
