Abstract: Abstract The focus of this study is on the community’s perception and participation in the waste bank program. The research methodology includes interviews with 60 respondents, supplemented by observational techniques. This study employs a Mixed Methods approach, integrating both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Quantitative data were collected through purposive surveys utilizing questionnaires directed at the community and the management of the village traditional waste bank in Kubu. Qualitative data were gathered using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings indicate that the establishment of the Waste Bank in Kubu is a significant initial step in waste management. It has facilitated a transformation in the community’s perception of waste, changing it from being viewed as useless items to being recognized as resources that can generate income. Key factors supporting the sustainability of the Waste Bank include active community participation in waste management. This participation begins with the selection and sorting of waste based on criteria such as organic, non-organic, and residual waste. Furthermore, the ability to convert waste into monetary value through the waste bank program serves as an additional motivation for community engagement in its management.
