Population growth is very influential on the amount of waste generated. The available land is very limited. The coastal community in Besuki mostly disposes garbage in the sea of any river due to unavailability of landfill. So we need a study on the estimated volume and type of waste generated by households in coastal village in Besuki region, Situbondo. This study used 10 household samples spread over coastal village. The study was conducted for 8 days using survey method with sampling (Proportional Random Sampling). Based on the results of the preparation, obtained the waste generated in the form of organic waste and non-organic waste. The composition of organic waste can be selected into several types of leaves, garbage, household, food scraps, and wood. As for the type of non-organic waste can be sorted into plastic, paper, metal, rubber, styrofoam, and cloth. The total amount volume of waste produced per household in a day in coastal villages is 47,3 liters with the largest composition of waste generated from plastic by 43,36%.
Coastal citizen in Besuki region have a habit of throwing garbage directly into estuary and sea. To know the bad conditions that can occur in the marine environment especially in Besuki region so domestic waste mass estimation is needed. Proportional random sampling is used to determine the number of samples and measurement of domestic waste is conducted for 8 days. Measurement with SNI (Indonesia National Standard) Number 19-3964-1994 method is used. To know perceptions of coastal citizen about waste management, the distribution of questionnaires to the sample was done. The result is waste mass estimation in Besuki Coastal Region is 167.57 g/people.day where non-organic waste more than organic waste that has percentage 63% and 37%, respectively. From questionnaire survey, 73% citizen throw their wastes in the sea or/and the river, 27% has been burned, and 0% in landfill. Generally, 80% citizens do not have the basic knowledge about marine debris impact and 20% citizens have knowledge about marine debris impact. Their interest about self-waste management is 33%.
