        "summary": "A landslide at the Bantargebang landfill in Jakarta has caused significant disruptions to waste management in Jatinegara, East Jakarta, forcing sanitation workers to queue for hours from early morning to unload their carts at temporary collection points. Workers like Ali and Pulung reported waits of up to five hours due to delayed collection trucks, though the situation has begun to normalise with the deployment of additional vehicles and heavy equipment. This incident highlights ongoing challenges in Indonesia's urban waste infrastructure, affecting daily operations and efficiency in densely populated areas.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Sanitation workers have had to queue since early morning\nwhen disposing of waste using carts at the temporary collection point\n(TPS) in Jatinegara, East Jakarta. One worker, Ali (40), said that under\nnormal conditions, the queuing time for waste disposal ranges from 10 to\n30 minutes. \u201cYesterday, before Eid, there was still a queue; sometimes I\nstart at 03:00 and don\u2019t finish until the afternoon because of the\nqueue,\u201d said Ali when met at the location on Monday (30\/3\/2026). \u201cNow\nit\u2019s in and out; it\u2019s been lifted, it\u2019s normal now. Yesterday, because\nof the landslide in Bantargebang, the impact spread everywhere,\u201d added\nAli. Another worker, Pulung (39), shared a similar experience, saying he\nonce queued for up to five hours due to the landslide in Bantargebang.\n\u201cPraise be to God, now it\u2019s somewhat normal, it\u2019s conducive now. The\nproblem was the landslide in Bantargebang. So here we queued because the\ntrucks were late arriving,\u201d said Pulung. The queue of waste carts can\nstretch 50 to 70 metres. \u201cWe hope it can be smooth every day. Yesterday,\nthere was a policy to add more trucks, but it still wasn\u2019t conducive\nbecause of the traffic jam in Bantargebang for disposal,\u201d he added.\nPreviously, dozens of waste carts queued to unload at the TPS in the\nJatinegara area. On Monday afternoon, the queue of waste carts was still\nvisible as workers prepared to dispose of waste at the TPS before it was\nloaded onto transport trucks. There were about 20 waste carts queuing\nfor 45 metres along the entrance to the TPS. However, the queue did not\nlast long. Waste collectors relatively quickly disposed of the waste\nthey brought to the TPS. One heavy excavator-type machine was also\ndeployed to move the waste into trucks before it was transported to the\nfinal disposal site.<\/p>",
