Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wibi Andrino, has\nspotlighted the collapse of a boundary wall at Kramat Jati Market due to\ntowering rubbish piles, as well as the streets of Slipi being\noverwhelmed with waste. Wibi has called on the DKI Provincial Government\nto promptly implement emergency measures.<\/p>\n
He urged the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to take action during\naccess restrictions at the Integrated Waste Disposal Site (TPST)\nBantargebang, which recently experienced a landslide.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my view, this situation demonstrates that our waste management\nsystem is still unprepared to handle downstream restrictions like those\nat Bantargebang, resulting in immediate impacts on temporary disposal\nsites and streets. In the short term, the Provincial Government must\nswiftly implement emergency steps,\u201d Wibi stated to reporters on Thursday\n(2\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n
Wibi explained that emergency measures the Provincial Government\ncould take include optimising waste transportation and redistribution to\nother locations. He also called for the activation of temporary waste\nprocessing facilities, such as the Waste Processing Site - Reduce,\nReuse, Recycle (TPS 3R) and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) in Rorotan, North\nJakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cOptimise waste transportation and redistribution to other sites,\nactivate temporary processing facilities (TPS3R\/RDF),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Wibi advocated for strengthened cross-regional\ncoordination to avoid waste accumulation at single points. He also noted\nthat field supervision must be enhanced to prevent recurrences of\nincidents like the wall collapse due to rubbish piles at Kramat\nJati.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd strengthen cross-regional coordination to prevent accumulation\nat one point. At the same time, field supervision must be increased so\nthat incidents like the wall collapse at Kramat Jati do not recur, as\nthis now involves resident safety, not just cleanliness,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Collapsed Wall Due to Rubbish Piles<\/p>\n
As known, towering rubbish at Kramat Jati Main Market in East Jakarta\ncaused the boundary wall separating the piles from the river and\nresidential areas to collapse. The rubbish then spilled into the\nsurroundings.<\/p>\n
Observations by detikcom at the site on Tuesday (31\/3) showed the\nboundary wall was right beside the river. There were two points where\nthe wall had collapsed as of that day. One point collapsed to a width of\nabout 10 metres, the other about 2 metres.<\/p>\n
Local resident Tuswadi said one of the collapsed walls occurred\naround early or mid-March. The larger collapse happened about two months\nago.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe one here (2 metres) was about half a month ago. It collapsed at\nnight,\u201d said Tuswadi when met at the location.<\/p>\n
Tuswadi\u2019s house is near the boundary wall. He admitted to being\ndisturbed by the pungent odour from the rubbish.<\/p>\n
Rubbish has also overflowed onto the streets of Slipi in West\nJakarta. The piles create a strong stench, and leachate spills onto the\nroads, disturbing passing motorists.<\/p>\n
detikcom observations showed waste accumulation at several points\nalong Jalan Inspeksi up to Pasar Palmerah.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/dki-dprd-urges-provincial-government-to-immediately-take-emergency-waste-management-measures-1775098325", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
