Waste4Change through the Community-Based Implementation (w4c.id/CBI) service supports training and mentoring of community elements, ranging from the community, TPS 3R, management of tourism sites, and much more, to help optimize waste management. Waste4Change Supports Community Empowerment to Reduce Waste The garbage bags are valued differently according to the volume of garbage that can be accommodated, so as to ensure that citizens understand that there are costs to be paid to be able to recycle and ensure the waste they produce does not pollute the environment. This is one of the reasons why the South Korean government requires its citizens to buy special garbage bags to deposit waste. This is because residual waste management and some types of waste recycling process require no small cost, it could also require expensive technology. However, spreading the awareness that waste is valuable and can be exchanged for money should also be accompanied by a condition that the first step of the 3R, namely Reduce, should be prioritized above all else. Some of the waste that they collected is re-processed and created as souvenirs that can be sold to tourists and visitors.
In Japan, there is the city of Kamikatsu that is of global concern because the entire population is working together to maximize their waste-sorting and recycling. In Egypt, there are Zabbaleen People who have dedicated their life and living areas to collect and manage waste to be processed and resold.
