1 INTRODUCTION

Namo Bintang Village is one of the villages located

in PancurBatu sub-district, Deli Serdang District. In

the village of NamoBintang, there is also a Landfill

of the Municipality of Medan, or commonly

abbreviated as the PancurBatu Sub-district Landfill,

Deli Serdang District, located to the north of

NamoBintang village and has an area of around 25

hectares. The distance from the settlement to the

landfill area is about 1.5 km and located on the

roadside in the direction of PancurBatu road. While

the landfill distance from the municipality of Medan

is about 17 km.

Based on the condition of the village that is

closed to the farmer landfill, most people have a

livelihood as garbage scavengers or collector of used

goods for resale to meet the living needs of the village

community, while those who have the most

livelihoods are farmers in the village of

NamoBintang. Farmers and Scavenger or used goods

collectors, most of who are in NamoBintang Village.

The village of NamoBintang is a village whose

inhabitants throw garbage in the river and burn it.

Garbage often accumulates on roadsides and rivers,

thus disrupting the environment. In addition, the

scattering of garbage into the paddy fields because it

is carried by the river flow to invite various

complaints from farmers. The waste is piled up so that

the flow of sewer or river water is blocked. When

rainfall is high and lasts a long time, it will cause

flooding.

Sorted out, is to separate between rotting

garbage and garbage that is not easy or difficult to

decompose; 2. Compostable: once sorted, rotten

garbage such as used food and vegetables can be

Integrated waste processing activities are very

supportive because the waste is very much in the

village of Namo Bintang, so the community is very

easy to take the material for composting organic

fertilizer and handicraft products. The tools used for

composting organic fertilizer and making handicraft

materials are so simple that the village community

can make their own. In addition, the village

environment can be saved from the waste while the

villagers improving their living standard because they

can make their own handicraft and compost and sell

them. The university team and community are

conducted the training program as seen in Figure 3.
