The study results confirm that the community is the lower middle class and indigenous people who have lived for a long time. The majority of the people along the Alalak river throw their garbage into the river or carelessly because attitudes influence them based on personal experience, lack of awareness and responsibility in environmental service activities, the unavailability of adequate waste disposal facilities, and the lack of facilities and methods of waste management provided by the government. The results of the calculation of the estimated waste of the community along the Alalak River based on the estimated amount of waste all respondents produced 930 kilograms of solid waste and produced 132900 liters of liquid waste per day with an average of 3 kilograms of solid waste and bath, wash, toilet liquid waste with a range of 300 liters per household.ABSTRAKKualitas lingkungan masih menjadi isu di masyarakat. Satu diantaranya adalah berkaitan dengan permasalahan sampah. Persoalan sampah yang menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan diantaranya dapat ditemui di Kota Banjarmasin, khusunya disekitar wilayah pemukiman masyarakat di bantaran sungai.
