UBSI strengthens waste bank management with SOP and finance training

Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika (UBSI) is strengthening the management of the Vida Taman Apel community waste bank in Bekasi through specialized training. The initiative focuses on enhancing operational workflows, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and financial reporting to bolster professionalism and transparency.

The training, part of UBSI's community service program, targeted the management and members of the Vida Taman Apel RW.019 waste bank. It was divided into two main sessions: detailing the operational workflow and establishing standardized SOPs for waste banks, and providing training on accurate financial record-keeping and reporting based on accountability principles.

Elmira Siska, a resource person for the training, provided systematic and practical guidance to ensure easy implementation in daily operations. Participants learned the importance of a well-structured work system and meticulous financial reporting as foundational elements for the waste bank's sustainability. Haryani, the event's chief organizer, stated that the training was designed to meet the practical needs of waste bank managers in establishing more effective and accountable work systems.

Through this training, we hope the management of Bank Sampah Vida Taman Apel RW.019 will have clear work guidelines through SOPs and be able to prepare transparent and measurable financial reports.

The initiative received full support from Nia Kurniasih, the head of the waste bank, and was lauded by Bambang Sulistio, the head of RW.019, for its positive impact on community-based environmental management systems. Sulistio emphasized that improving waste management capacity is crucial not only for environmental cleanliness but also for creating economic opportunities for the community.

Participants showed significant enthusiasm, actively engaging in discussions and sharing challenges faced in their daily operations, from waste deposit mechanisms to end-of-period financial reporting. These discussions served as a collective reflection to identify structural obstacles hindering the waste bank's optimal performance. For UBSI, a "Creative Digital Campus," this community service engagement represents a tangible contribution to advancing managerial literacy and organizational governance within community organizations.

The improvement of waste management capacity is very important, not only for keeping the environment clean, but also for opening economic opportunities for the community.
