The predicate was awarded in 2013 by the Blacksmith Institute, a nonprofit organization based in New York and Green Cross in Switzerland. The Citarum River is polluted by organic and inorganic waste. This paper focuses on how to process organic waste in Dayeuhkolot sub district which is one of the densely populated areas on the banks of the Citarum River. The method in this paper uses descriptive method, which explains the role of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) in reducing the volume of organic waste in the area. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of BSF in reducing organic waste. Based on the analysis, BSF is able to reduce organic waste up to 56% of total organic waste. Therefore, in an effort to reduce organic waste in Dayeuhkolot sub district not only using BSF, but also must be combined with other ways.
