Abstract

Background: Alam Barajo Type A Terminal is the largest Terminal in Jambi City and one of the few terminals still
operational today. Due to the high number of public vehicles, such as buses, that frequently operate around Alam Barajo Type A Terminal, there is a significant accumulation of waste at the terminal. This research aims to examine waste management at Alam Barajo Type A Terminal, including waste generation, storage, collection, transportation, the roles of managers and sanitation workers, and the involvement of the surrounding community in waste management.
Method: This research method employs interviews and observations by answering questions such as what, why, when, where, who, and how. The data analyzed using this method are in the form of texts or narratives.
Result: The research results indicate that the waste generated comes from ticket counters, offices, and restaurants, consisting of both organic and inorganic waste. There are 27 storage containers, and the waste is transported by sanitation workers in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
