Garbage has become a problem everywhere. Waste production continues to increase both in urban and outside urban areas, due to population growth and various other factors, such as lifestyle, industrial and trade activities. Garbage needs to be managed properly so that it does not become a source of various problems that are very detrimental to society, such as floods, diseases, and air and air pollution. Even though they are not liked, the community is not willing to work together to solve this problem because they run into the free rider problem. The failure of the community to build cooperation in dealing with convenience makes the government have to intervene to overcome it. However, in reality, the government has not succeeded in overcoming it, and even accidentally a new problem has arisen at landfills. Waste management will be effective if it involves the community; because they are the main producers. In order for the community to cooperate in managing waste, waste that is a “public bads” must be turned into various valuable goods (commercial goods) that provide additional income for themselves. For this reason, they must be involved in processing it in a community-based waste management system. This study proves that the people of Tigaras Village are willing to cooperate in managing waste in their community as long as it provides additional income for them. The additional income is obtained from the sale of products they produce from processing waste and subsidies from the government as compensation for the positive externalities enjoyed by the community. It is recommended that the government of Simalungun Regency encourage and facilitate the development of a community-based waste management system along the outskirts of Lake Toba in their area.
