a recycling programme than those who are not so well informed (Nyamwange 1996). Based on
the distribution of the questionnaire, 90% people do not know CWTF, covering equipment,

program socialization, that is as much as 47% are housewives, 20% work as PNS, and 33%
private work. Meanwhile, 54% of people who can not distinguish the type of waste, 74% had
followed the program socialization and 36% did not follow the program socialization. Of these,
68% were housewives, 10% private work, and 21% work as laborers. The data showed that the
inability of people to separate the waste are caused by lack of knowledge, either because they do
not ever participate in the socialization and lack of socialization. If the level of employment is
assumed straight proportionate to the level of education, the education level has a positive
correlation with the behavior of people in the management of waste

Lack of knowledge and the socialization make results achieved do not match those expected.
Lack of support will impact on the stagnating or even stop program. From Figure 5, to 56%
people have separate at the beginning of the operational CWTF, 18% survive in waste
separating, and 26% did not do the first time since CWTF has built. Ironically, 74% of people
