BSU Mandiri

BSU Mandiri is a community led environmental initiative based in Subangjaya, Sukabumi City, Indonesia, focused on developing a regenerative circular waste system at the neighborhood level. Founded and operated by local residents, BSU Mandiri works with households, youth, community leaders, and waste workers to reduce waste sent to landfill while creating local environmental and social value. Our activities include community based waste collection, material sorting, recyclable recovery, organic waste processing, and environmental education. We currently support waste management activities across several neighborhood areas (RW) in an urban community facing increasing waste and environmental pressures. Our long term vision is to build a community owned regeneration model where organic waste is converted into compost and local resources, recyclable materials are reintegrated into the circular economy, and residents actively participate in environmental stewardship and local resilience.
