This study aims to assess the potential of the Apple Waste Bank as a model for community-based waste management that can create environmentally friendly waste management. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research analysis uses the perspective of sustainable development theory proposed by the Brundtland Commission (1987). The results of this study indicate that the Apple Waste Bank plays an important role in supporting community-based waste management by implementing the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle). From an economic sustainability perspective, the waste bank's activities provide additional income for the community through a waste savings system and recycling activities. In terms of social sustainability, this program increases community participation and builds collective awareness of waste management. Meanwhile, from an environmental sustainability perspective, the existence of the Apple Waste Bank helps reduce the volume of waste disposed of in landfills (TPA) and improves the quality of residential environments. However, the implementation of this program still faces various obstacles, such as uneven community participation, limited facilities, and fluctuating waste prices in the recycling market. Therefore, institutional strengthening and policy support are needed to ensure the sustainable development of the waste bank program.
