Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir (TPA) merupakan tempat dimana sampah mencapai tahap terakhir dalam pengelolaannya sejak mulai timbul di sumber, pengumpulan, pemindahan/pengangkutan, pengolahan dan pembuangan. Pemulung ikut serta dalam pengolahan sampah, yaitu memungut benda yang masih dapat dijual. Kegiatan pemulung di TPA berisiko terkena penyakit, karena pemulung di TPA bekerja pada tempat yang kotor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui upaya pemulung dalam mencegah risiko gangguan kesehatan di TPA Banjaran. Jenis Penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif. Data yang digunakan adalah data umum dan data khusus. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara dan observasi. Subyek penelitian yaitu 50 orang pemulung di TPA Banjaran. Analisis data dilakukan dengan deskriptif, dengan melihat hasil observasi dan wawancara pada pemulung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan upaya pemulung dalam mencegah risiko gangguan kesehatan di TPA termasuk katagori kurang baik dengan rincian sebagai berikut, personal hygiene (76%), pengetahuan pemulung (40%), menghindari vektor binatang pengganggu (46%), pengobatan (40%), dan kebugaran jasmani (44%). Peneliti menyimpulkan upaya pemulung dalam mencegah risiko gangguan kesehatan di TPA masih kurang baik.

Scavengers participate in the processing of waste, which is picking up objects that can still be sold. Scavengers in final processing sites are at risk of disease, because scavengers in the final processing place work in dirty places. This study aims to determine the scavengers efforts in preventing the risk of health problems in the TPA Banjaran. Research type used is descriptive. The data used are general data and special data. Data collection is done by interview and observation. The research subjects were 50 scavengers at TPA Banjaran. The data analysis was done by descriptive, by looking at observation result and interview on scavenger. The results of the study showed scavengers efforts in preventing the risk of health problems at the final processing site including less good category, the details are as follows, personal hygiene (76%), scavenger knowledge (40%), avoiding vectors of beasts (46%), treatment (40%), And physical fitness (44%). The researchers concluded that scavengers' efforts in preventing the risk of health problems in the final processing place is less good category.
