Klojen (malangkota.go.id) – The success of waste management and community empowerment to actively participate in waste processing from its source, namely households through the Malang Waste Bank (BSM), attracted the interest of the PKK of Talunkulon Village, Bandung District, Tulungagung Regency to conduct a comparative study of integrated waste management at BSM located on Jl.
