This study examines the role of Bank Sampah Berkah (BSB) in Belawan, Medan, in addressing waste management issues while simultaneously improving the economic well-being of the community. Prior to BSB's establishment in 2016, the majority of Belawan residents (76.2%) disposed of waste indiscriminately, resulting in high daily waste generation (6 kg by 32 respondents, 4 6 kg by 42 respondents). BSB's presence significantly altered this behavior, evidenced by the elimination of respondents generating 6 kg of waste and a drastic increase in the group producing less than 3 kg of waste (rising to 40 respondents). The research findings indicate increased public awareness and participation in waste sorting, driven by direct financial benefits from waste savings (estimated average >IDR 200,000/month per customer). These funds are utilized for basic needs, children's education, and even business capital. Although BSB manages a smaller volume of waste (9,245.64 kg/year) compared to Bank Sampah Unit Tri Golan Jaya (148,560 kg/year), BSB excels in its measurable and significant microeconomic impact on its customers. Bank Sampah Berkah proves to be an effective model for community-based waste management that empowers the economy, despite facing challenges of fluctuating customer participation and limited access to recycling product markets.
