This study uses a qualitative approach, by conducting in-depth interviews with 7 informants selected through purposive sampling technique. The results of the study indicate that the development of social capital at the CIBER waste bank begins with opening initial contacts to coordinate, fulfill the requirements for cooperation, conduct socialization and direct invitation toward residents, as well as carry out previous joint activities.
