        "summary": "The Dangin Puri Kelod Village Government in Bali has launched a three-day independent operation to sort and remove illegal waste piles, involving 15 staff members, hamlet heads, the Village Consultative Body, and environmental monitors. Utilising a temporary one-are plot owned by the Bali Provincial Religious Affairs Office, the team processes and transports the waste daily to prevent accumulation, addressing challenges like limited urban disposal sites and non-compliance with sorting rules. This initiative highlights local efforts to educate residents on waste separation, distribute composting tools to over 900 households, and alleviate the burden on the Environment Agency, with 70% of villagers now participating in sorting amid ongoing issues with external dumping.",
        "content": "<p>The Dangin Puri Kelod Village Government has combed through and\nindependently sorted illegal waste. The activity took place over three\ndays, involving 15 village staff, hamlet heads, the Village Consultative\nBody (BPD), and Environmental Monitors (Jumali).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gathered yesterday from 07:00 to 08:00 WITA, set off to comb the\narea, provided public services, and returned here. The maximum is until\n12:00 WITA because it gets hot,\u201d explained the Village Head of Dangin\nPuri Kelod, I Made Sada, when interviewed by detikBali on Friday\n(24\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Waste sorting is temporarily carried out on an empty plot owned by\nthe Bali Provincial Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. They\nare using a one-are area as a site for the waste sorting process, which\nis then immediately transported to avoid accumulation and maintain\ncleanliness at the location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re borrowing this place temporarily. In the city, it\u2019s hard to\nfind a spot. This is provincial land. Even at the office, there\u2019s no\nparking space. If it\u2019s not sorted, the TPS rejects it, so we sort it,\u201d\nsaid Sada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m cleaning this now, tomorrow or the day after it will be sent,\nthen the land will be empty, and on Monday new waste will come,\u201d added\nSada.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned that the use of the Bali Provincial Government\u2019s land\nfor waste sorting is due to better security with perimeter fencing and\nroutine patrols. Additionally, the land\u2019s ownership status is clearly\ngovernment property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have patrols from the Community Protection (Linmas) but only until\n00:00-01:00 WITA,\u201d said Sada.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Sada explained that CCTV surveillance has been\nimplemented. However, he noted that these efforts are not fully\neffective because they struggle to identify the perpetrators. \u201cBut we\ndon\u2019t know them. They dump and leave immediately,\u201d said Sada.<\/p>\n<p>Sada stated that the illegal waste comes from residents outside the\nvillage. During the sorting process, the sorting team often luckily\nfinds identities of the culprits from online shopping packages.<\/p>\n<p>Over the three days of sorting, the village managed to collect up to\none pickup truck per day. Organic waste is redirected to the Integrated\nWaste Processing Site (TPST) Kesiman Kertalangu. Meanwhile, non-organic\nwaste goes to the Temporary Waste Collection Site (TPS) Yangbatu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the regulations are new: every Thursday and Monday for organic\nwaste disposal, non-organic on other days. But sometimes the TPST is\nfull, so we send one pickup every day,\u201d said Sada.<\/p>\n<p>The village has six moci cart operators who go around collecting only\nsorted waste. Additionally, they continue to promote education and\nprovide source-based waste sorting facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have 4,654 households (KK). Yesterday we distributed 250\ncomposter bins. Then 200 modern composters, so the number of households\nis gradually reduced, and the rest get composters. We\u2019ve distributed\naround 900. Because 43 villages need them, it\u2019s phased, but the\nimportant thing is we start,\u201d explained Sada.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sada, 70 percent of residents in Dangin Puri Kelod\nVillage have successfully sorted their waste. He confirmed this from the\nresults of waste collection by the moci operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we report to DLHK, they\u2019ve done a lot of work. We want to lighten\nthe load on DLHK. Of course, because this illegal waste\u2014they don\u2019t want\nto sort it. Everyone can sort, but they don\u2019t want to. Maybe they don\u2019t\nknow the information either. So, they dump in strategic places like\nempty lots, and since it\u2019s in the village, it\u2019s our responsibility,\u201d\nemphasised Sada.<\/p>\n<p>Hotspots prone to illegal waste dumping include areas around Banjar\nYang Batu Kauh, Banjar Yangbatu Kangin, Jalan Cok Agung Tresna to Jalan\nRaya Puputan around the Bung Karno Museum area.<\/p>",
