Keywords. 3R Waste Management, Educational Management, Sustainable Campus Introduction Jakarta is currently classified as an emergency city of waste (does not have landfill and there is no waste management in the area of solid waste. The problem of waste in Jakarta is not due to lack of solid waste regulation. Waste policy is very good and clear, including the issuance of Regional Regulation No.3 of 2013 concerning Jakarta Waste Management, but what happens is that the Jakarta Environmental Agency has not implemented the regulations properly and consequently, especially the Article 13 of Law 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management (this Act was effective since 2013). The point is that there should no longer be large-scale transportation of waste to landfill except hazardous and toxic materials that must be managed in the 3R integrated waste disposal site. 1
