JAKARTA \u2013 Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has called on Jakarta\nresidents to begin adopting the habit of sorting waste at home.<\/p>\n
According to him, this practice cannot be postponed any further and\nmust be undertaken by all residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding waste, we will indeed prepare facilities for Jakarta\nresidents shortly. Regardless of preference, residents must begin\ngetting accustomed to sorting waste,\u201d said Pramono when met in the Monas\narea on Tuesday, 17 March 2026.<\/p>\n
To date, almost all waste from Jakarta has been disposed of at\nBantargebang without being sorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause first, the limitations of Bantargebang mean that all this\nwaste cannot be managed as it was before,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition to requesting residents to sort waste, the Jakarta\nProvincial Government is also preparing waste treatment facilities. In\nthe near term, the government will decide on the development of three\nwaste-to-energy power plants, one of which will be located at\nBantargebang.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the RDF Rorotan facility will also commence full\noperations shortly.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurrently, finalisation is underway not only for commissioning but\nfor full operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
However, the capacity of RDF Rorotan will be adjusted to avoid\ncausing odour and disruption to neighbouring residents.<\/p>\n
Waste sorting will be divided into four categories:<\/p>\n
First, organic waste such as food scraps that can be made into\ncompost.<\/p>\n
Second, recyclable waste such as plastic, paper, and metals.<\/p>\n
Third, hazardous waste or toxic materials.<\/p>\n
Fourth, residual waste or waste that cannot be processed further.<\/p>\n
Using this approach, the volume of waste sent to Bantargebang can be\nreduced and waste management in Jakarta will improve.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-governor-urges-residents-to-sort-waste-at-home-it-must-be-done-1773730437", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
