        "content": "<p>JAKARTA (ANTARA) - Kramat Jati Subdistrict continues to intensify\nwaste segregation awareness campaigns at the source, i.e.\u00a0households, to\nraise public awareness through community forums. \u2018We continue to conduct\nawareness campaigns on the importance of waste segregation at the\nhousehold level through existing community activities,\u2019 said Kramat Jati\nSubdistrict Head Kamal Alatas when contacted by ANTARA in Jakarta on\nMonday. According to him, a community-based approach is the main\nstrategy to ensure waste management messages are more readily accepted\nby the public. Various community activities used for awareness campaigns\ninclude RT\/RW coordination meetings, Village Consultative Body (LMK)\ngatherings, PKK activities, Dasawisma, and mosquito larva monitoring\nofficers (Jumantik). Education is also delivered through the Community\nEarly Warning Forum (FKDM), Karang Taruna meetings, and face-to-face\nawareness sessions at the village office. Other community activities\nwithin neighbourhoods also serve as channels for waste management\ninformation dissemination. At each opportunity, residents are educated\non the importance of segregating organic and inorganic waste at the\nhousehold level. Despite ongoing awareness campaigns, the subdistrict\ngovernment acknowledges several on-ground challenges. A key obstacle is\nthe public\u2019s habit of mixing waste in a single bin, which is difficult\nto change quickly. \u2018Some residents\u2019 understanding of the importance of\nwaste segregation remains limited, and public awareness for consistent\nsegregation needs to be further improved,\u2019 Kamal said. Technical support\nlimitations, such as insufficient segregated waste bins and organic\nwaste processing machines, also hinder programme optimisation.\nTherefore, sustained support is needed for the waste management system\nto operate more effectively. Kamal hopes that through intensified\nawareness campaigns and adequate facility support, waste segregation at\nthe source will become deeply ingrained in the community and a daily\nhabit for residents. The East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot Jaktim) is\npromoting waste segregation at the source, i.e.\u00a0households, to reduce\nthe burden on the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Management Facility\n(TPST) in Bekasi, West Java. Pemkot Jaktim has collaborated with the\nCiracas Plastic Recycling Centre (PDUP) to manage inorganic waste.\nAdditionally, the Waste Bank Task Force (Satgas Bank Sampah) in each\nvillage, established via Mayor\u2019s Circular No.\u00a0e-0005\/SE\/2026, is being\noptimised in its role.<\/p>",
