The challenges facing the city solid waste management (SWM) are increasing and complex because, in a new paradigm, solid waste is not only an environmental issue but also an economic and social issue. Therefore, the involvement of all stakeholders both the government and non-government in SWM is crucial. One of the roles of society as a part of city waste management is through the waste bank. This research is carried out by using a mix methods approach, for mapping and identifying the existing condition of the waste bank, a quantitative method is used and for designing waste bank development, a qualitative approach is used. Data collections were carried out by cluster purposive sampling method and to design the development of WB was done by a focus group interview. The result of this research shows that waste bank contributes to reducing recyclable waste up to 99,3 tons per day or 6,7% of the total generation of waste. To ensure sustainability, the waste bank must be integrated both in municipal waste management and in economic activities that affect the circular economy and the governments must pay attention of finance (incentives), procurement of facilities and infrastructure, as well as human resources training.
