PONTIANAK. (13/05). Perjalanan berdirinya bank sampah Borneo tidaklah mulus. Sebelum bank sampah ini dibangun, Mandiri Daya Insani (MDI) yang merupakan mitra RZ merencanakan pembangunan bank sampah di wilayah Sungai Kakap, Kalimantan Timur yang merupakan ICD Banjar Serasan binaan RZ.
Tingginya antusias kader bank sampah di wilayah Sungai Kakap dalam pembangunan bank sampah, menghasilkan kesepakatan untuk mendirikan bank sampah di wilayah ini. Hingga akhirnya, RZ bekerja sama dengan ibu-ibu PKK mempersiapkan seluruh proses pendirian bank sampah ini.
Pada momen hari Gotong Royong Nasional, pemerintah kota Pontianak memberikan apresiasi kepada ICD Banjar Serasan di RW 08 berupa ±25 unit tong sampah organik dan non organik, di karenakan di daerah tersebut terdapat program Bank Sampah Borneo yang kegiatannya sudah berjalan dengan baik dan berkelanjutan.
“Apresiasi ini merupakan hasil kerja keras para member Bank Sampah Borneo yang hingga kini telah memiliki 71 nasabah yang tercatat dan rutin menyetorkan sampah kering yang berupa botol-botol bekas, kardus, kertas, dan lain-lain,” tutur Desti Dwi Astuti, ICD Fasilitator Barjar Serasan.***

PONTIANAK. (13/05). Waste bank program is initiated by RZ to promote clean and healthy lifestyle and create a comfortable environment. One of the waste banks established in Kalimantan is Borneo Waste Bank that is located in Tanjung Harapan, Banjar Serasan, Pontianak.
Nowadays, the cadres of Borneo Waste Bank have successfully produced several profitable products and earned additional income from waste such as fertilizer and handicraft. Its journey until today was not easy; the cadres of Borneo Waste Bank often get problems and obstacles such as lack of response from the community.
At the moment of National Mutual Cooperation Day, Borneo Waste Bank was appreciated by the local government of Pontianak due to it development and contribution toward environmental preservation and economical improvement.
The appreciation was delivered through the submission of 25 units of organic and inorganic trash can. Currently, Borneo Waste Bank has 71 customers or members who regularly deposit valuable waste. ***
