INTRODUCTION

Garbage is a crucial problem because the effects of waste can affect various aspects of life.

Garbage can be a cause of environmental damage including the accumulation of waste from industrial and household activities. Until now, waste is a developing country's unresolved problem.

Incomplete waste management in developing countries not only causes the urban/district environmental situation to look unaesthetic, but also causes various problems such as: flooding, environmental pollution, declining public health status, and social problems. Waste will continue to be produced as long as humans live. People who are humans who inhabit the earth from time to time will increasingly cause the amount of waste to continue to increase, if it is not balanced with solutions to reduce waste. With the consumptive nature of humans, of course it has a risk that results in waste. If a solution is not immediately given to handle it and manage it, it will have an impact on environmental damage and natural disasters that can occur, with this occurrence, humans will be harmed. In addition, waste can also be recycled so that the waste can be reused.

The purpose of limiting the use of waste is so that all levels of society consisting of the government and the community itself can be moved to contribute to waste reduction. Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) is a term used in recycling and reuse activities. However, this activity has a major obstacle, because the community still lacks awareness of the importance of sorting waste and there is still a lot of non-organic waste that cannot be decomposed quickly such as plastic.

The authority of the Lumajang Regency government in the plastic bag reduction program is based on the issuance of Regent Regulation Number 56 of 2019 concerning Reducing the Use of Single- use Plastic Bags. In this case, the basis for issuing the Regent's Regulation is to increase public awareness in realizing a clean environment from waste. When it comes to waste management, the Lumajang local government requires the participation of various parties.
