Abstract The purpose of this study was to find an effective and efficient way of managing urban household waste. The research method uses a case study. The data was taken from digital recording (Youtube) related to the residential waste management collaboration between Waste4Change and Gunas Land at Vida Bekasi. The research findings show that Waste4Change has implemented the circular economy principle in waste management in Vida Bekasi housing. The circular economy model carried out by Waste4Change in residential waste management should be used as a model for waste management in various other urban housing areas in Jakarta and other big cities.

A general picture of waste management in Argentina is presented, taking into consideration the obligations of the state to guarantee the collection of household waste and to dispose of it in authorized sites and the generator's responsibility on the management of hazardous waste. Separate boxes are presented to present the activities performed by organized waste pickers and by CEAMSE, a state-owned company responsible for waste disposition in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires. Waste management is essential for a sustainable development agenda. As witnessed in Argentina, this requires (1) closing open dumpsites, (2) a reliable and complete waste collection service, and (3) proper treatment of all waste streams. It is thus clear the need to (1) promote a circular economy; (2) tackle the management of organic waste; (3) ensure the adequate control and treatment of hazardous waste; (4) promote a suitable set of policies, regulations, and economic instruments; (5) select the best available technologies; and (6) formalize the informal phase of recycling.
