Starting from overloaded capacity of waste disposal sites, inadequate waste sorting, limited availability of officers and waste transport, and low public awareness to be wiser in managing their own waste. Action is needed that can facilitate and speed up the resolution of the waste problem. Currently, the waste bank solution is one of the easy and simple methods used by every region in Indonesia. Almost every region in Indonesia has centralized waste bank facilities and sub-waste banks spread across certain points which have been arranged and planned on a scheduled basis to collect and distribute waste. This article aims to identify the need for waste bank processing facilities in the Velodrome area, Madyopuro sub-district, Kedungkandang District, Malang City, East Java.
