        "summary": "In Rorotan subdistrict, North Jakarta, a waste sorting initiative has been implemented at households, starting with separating organic and inorganic waste to gradually change community behaviour without overwhelming residents. The programme provides sorting bins and local disposal points like Losida for kitchen waste that can be turned into compost, while organic waste is processed into animal feed and inorganic waste is handled through a waste bank. This phased approach aims to eventually include sorting into four categories, including residue and hazardous waste, contributing to better waste management and environmental sustainability in the area.",
        "content": "<p>Rorotan subdistrict in North Jakarta has implemented household waste\nsorting, focusing on separating two types of waste: organic and\ninorganic. The head of Rorotan, Ahmad Fitroh, explained that sorting\ninto two types is the initial stage to accustom the community.\n\u201cYesterday, indeed, because the goal is to change behaviour. Not all\nresidents understand the connection with sorting waste into four types.\nWe\u2019re starting with two first,\u201d he said when met by Kompas.com on Friday\n(8\/5\/2026). According to him, if four types of sorting are implemented\ndirectly, including residue and hazardous waste, residents might feel\nburdened and inconvenienced. \u201cResidents\u2019 willingness might not be there\nif it feels too troublesome. Because we want to change behaviour,\ncurrently we\u2019re only sorting into two types: organic and inorganic,\u201d he\nstated. He revealed that every resident\u2019s home has now been provided\nwith waste sorting containers to separate organic and inorganic waste.\nFor residents reluctant to dispose of waste at drop points that are\nsomewhat far away, the subdistrict has also prepared Losida (kitchen\nwaste disposal) near residents\u2019 homes. \u201cThis Losida can be used as a\nplace to dispose of organic waste, which can later become compost and\nenrich plants,\u201d he said. He also assured that waste collection using\ncarts or third parties is no longer used in Rorotan subdistrict. \u201cThere\nare none here (waste carts). We ensure that because the organic waste is\nweighed as a benchmark for success in one area,\u201d he emphasised. The\norganic waste will later be processed at the TPS 3R into pulp used as\nanimal feed and for maggots. Meanwhile, inorganic waste is collected by\nresidents to be managed through a waste bank. As for residue waste and\ndry waste that cannot be processed, it will be sent to the Refuse\nDerived Fuel (RDF) in Rorotan. Ahmad added that sorting waste into four\ntypes, including residue and hazardous waste, remains a development\ntarget for the programme in Rorotan going forward.<\/p>",
