INFOKU, BLORA - Regent of Blora H. Arif Rohman, stated that the existence of the Reuse, Reduce and Recycle Waste Management Site (TPS 3R) in Addrejo Village, Blora District is expected to become a pilot for other urban villages in the local area.
This was conveyed by the Regent of Blora, H. Arief Rohman, Tuesday (21/2/2023) at the inauguration of the building where the 3R TPS is located named "Sami Kagem" and the "Arto Moro" Garbage Bank which will be completed at the end of 2022.
The inauguration was marked by cutting the ribbon by Regent Arief. There was a demo of waste processing by the Head of the Tambahrejo Community Self-Help Group (KSM), Slamet.
Accompanying the Head of the Environmental Service, Forkopimcam Blora Kota, and Tambahrejo Urban Village Head. Community leaders and all RT-RW Heads throughout the Addrejo Village were also present.
On the sidelines of the inauguration, the Regent stated that his party really hoped that TPS 3R and the Garbage Bank in the Addrejo Village could be managed properly.
Thus later it can become a model for other urban villages in the Blora Kota District area.
"As the name implies, TPS 3R "Sami Kagem" and the "Arto Moro Waste Bank" are not just names. However, it is really implemented, it is used together to process waste so that it can generate rupiah. Bring benefits to the local community," he said.
Even though it is managed by KSM Tambahrejo, the Regent, who is fondly called Mas Arief, hopes that waste from the surrounding Kelurahan can also be processed here.
If later it is successful and running well, it will be reported to the ministry so that next year the TPS 3R program in Tambahrejo can be duplicated in other Kelurahans. Moreover, Tambahrejo is the first Kelurahan in Blora to have TPS 3R.
With the existence of TPS 3R and the Garbage Bank, it is hoped that the volume of waste in Blora district will be sufficiently processed down to the sub-district level. So that it does not reach the landfill and reduces the volume of waste in the landfill.

"Managed by the community itself. Selected and processed independently with the assistance of DLH. Can be used as compost, sold for ornamental plants, processed into biogas, etc. The plastic waste can also be recycled into various products with economic value," he ordered.
Meanwhile, the Head of DLH for Blora Regency, Istadi Rusmanto, explained, TPS 3R and the Garbage Bank in Addrejo will be built in 2022 with the DAK budget from the PUPR Ministry.
This is the first TPS 3R at the Kelurahan level. Previously there were TPS 3R in Dea Purwosari, and Wado Village, Kedungtuban District.
With the TPS 3R and the Garbage bank, we hope that the volume of waste in TPA can be reduced.
"In line with the Regent's expectations, it is enough to process it at the sub-district level and can empower the surrounding community to earn," said Istadi.
His party stated that they are ready to seek operational assistance for TPS 3R and the Garbage Bank in the Addrejo Village.

He said that there are three motorbike facilities that have been prepared and designed in such a way as to transport household waste. Accompanied by waste separators, dryers, choppers and so on.
