The Up-and-Down Market has the potential to cause environmental problems
because of the waste generated from buying and selling activities on the market.
The legal issues raised are, first, how is the role of the Environmental Service in
controlling the pollution of the Kapuas River due to the waste of the Upland
Market in Sintang District and, secondly, are there obstacles faced by the
Environmental Service. Data in empirical legal research is collected through
interviews with informants and literature studies. The management of Junjung
Buih market waste by the Environmental Service as an effort to control the
Kapuas River water pollution has not been properly done due to several
obstacles, namely, the lack of community environmental awareness related to
waste management, and the lack of waste sorting facilities in the Junjung Buih
Market. The suggestion is that the Environmental Agency is needed to provide
counseling and supervision to the traders related to market waste management,
the government needs to allocate costs to provide waste sorting facilities, and
establish a community between traders in matters related to waste management.
