After a coordination meeting with the Ministry of Environment, Koster highlighted progress in waste management plans, including resident education on sorting at source and recruitment of personnel for sorting stations, aiming for complete closure of the landfill to organic and residual waste by 31 July. Local governments in Denpasar and Badung are preparing composter bags, though demand exceeds supply, which could accelerate on-site waste processing into compost if targets are met.",
        "content": "<p>Bali Governor Wayan Koster has claimed that the situation is starting\nto become conducive following the prohibition on sending organic waste\nto the Suwung Landfill from 1 April 2026. He made this statement after a\nmeeting with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry at the Bali\nGovernor\u2019s Office on Tuesday (7\/4\/2026). \u201cUp to this date, the situation\nis conducive and we hope that the target of 31 July will see the Suwung\nLandfill completely closed to both organic waste and residues. So\neverything must be managed well,\u201d Koster said. Koster also revealed the\nresults of the coordination meeting, including the challenges faced and\nthe local government\u2019s well-thought-out plans for waste management.\n\u201cSecondly, the residual waste transporters organised by self-management\nhave started to realise that, at the beginning there was some commotion\nbecause the trucks were stopped and not allowed in,\u201d he explained. \u201cNow\nthere are no more such incidents, so this is progress,\u201d Koster added.\nFurthermore, Koster continued, the number of trucks heading to the\nSuwung Landfill has started to decrease by 50 percent. \u201cBefore 1 April,\nit reached more than 500 trucks per day. Now it has decreased far by 50\npercent on average. There has been tremendous progress,\u201d said the\nGovernor from Buleleng. The Denpasar City Government and Badung Regency\nGovernment have also conducted education for residents to sort waste at\nthe household level. They have also recruited personnel for sorting at\nTPS3R stations. \u201cIf the residents can sort it themselves in their\nbanjars, then there is no need for sorting at TPS3R, so it can be\ndirectly processed into compost. It will be even faster,\u201d he explained.\nThe provision of composter bags is also being prepared by the Denpasar\nCity Government and Badung Regency Government. However, the estimated\nquantity has not yet been able to meet 100 percent due to high demand.\n\u201cThe target is 176,000 composter bags but only 40,000 have been\nobtained. If this can reach the target, waste processing at the source\nwill be faster,\u201d Koster emphasised.<\/p>",
