The 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) effort is focused on reducing plastic waste generated from household activities. Community participation is very necessary in realizing efforts to reduce plastic waste. This research aims to analyse community participation regarding efforts to reduce 3R plastic waste (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) based on the amount of generation and composition of household plastic waste in Balikpapan City. The data used in this research are primary and secondary data. Measurement of waste generation and composition data refers to SNI 19-3964-1994. Participation data collection was carried out by distributing and filling out questionnaires offline to the public with a total of 100 families of respondents obtained from the Slovin method calculation in determining the sample size. The results of this research showed that the average generation of household plastic waste from 100 families in Balikpapan City was 9.55 Kg/day with the highest composition of plastic waste dominated by PET at 3.14 Kg/day. Community participation in Reduce efforts was 68% in the “good” category, Reuse was 58% in the “good enough” category and Recycle was 29% in “not good” category.
