The potential for reducing waste at the source can reach 50% of the total waste generated. The reduction in waste can save landfill land and can also reduce the amount of waste transport and produce recycled material that is good enough because it is not mixed with other waste. The study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and income with community participation in the Cimahi Central Garbage Bank Unit program in Cimahi Selatan District, Cimahi City. The research method used was cross-sectional. The research sample was taken from respondents who had become customers and had not yet become customers in the waste bank. As many as 100 people sampled by simple random sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis used Chi square test and the magnitude of the relationship. The results of the study were 27.0% of samples had insufficient knowledge, 47.0% were low income, 94.0% had not become customers in the Waste Bank, and there was no relationship between knowledge (p value = 0.66) and income (p value = 0.21) with community participation in the Cimahi Induk Garbage Bank Unit program, Cimahi Selatan District, Cimahi City. It is recommended that DLH and the main Cimahi Waste Bank increase socialization and motivation for the community up to the RW level and provide waste disposal facilities that meet the requirements. Keywords: Cross sectional, Knowledge, Income, Participate, Waste bank. 1. INTRODUCTION quality of the environment and cause aesthetic disturbances if not handled properly [4].
