        "summary": "Public infrastructure workers in Jelambar, West Jakarta, are producing and selling compost made from dry leaves, turning waste into an economic opportunity. The initiative, part of a broader city-wide waste segregation programme, reduces landfill burden and provides additional income for the workers. Each bag of the organic fertiliser is sold for Rp5,000 via preorder.",
        "content": "<p>Public Infrastructure and Facilities Handling (PPSU) officers in\nJelambar Urban Village, West Jakarta, have sold 101 bags of compost\nfertiliser produced from dry leaves through a preorder system. The dry\nleaves are collected from the surrounding environment, then shredded and\nmixed with an EM4 solution and water. \u201cAfter mixing, the compost\nmaterial is placed into storage barrels and fermented for approximately\ntwo months until it is ready to be marketed to residents interested in\nusing environmentally friendly organic fertiliser,\u201d said Jelambar Urban\nVillage Head Pradista Machdala Putra on Wednesday. Pradista said each\nbag of compost is priced at Rp5,000. \u201cSo besides reducing waste that\nends up in disposal sites, this activity also provides economic benefits\nfor the officers,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, a member of the Jelambar Urban\nVillage PPSU, Syifa, explained that utilising dry leaves to make compost\nis a simple yet effective step in maintaining environmental cleanliness.\n\u201cProcessing compost from dry leaves not only reduces pollution caused by\nburning waste, but also has economic value. The compost can be used\npersonally or sold to residents who need organic fertiliser. It\u2019s a\ndecent additional income,\u201d he added. Previously, the West Jakarta City\nAdministration formed a Waste Segregation Task Force at the city,\nsub-district, and urban village levels. \u201cAs part of this programme, each\nurban village is targeted to have at least one pilot community unit in\nimplementing the Waste Segregation Movement in accordance with DKI\nJakarta Governor Regulation Number 102 of 2021,\u201d said West Jakarta Mayor\nIin Mutmainnah on Tuesday. Iin said the volume of waste in West Jakarta\ncurrently reaches approximately 2,200 tonnes per day. She noted that\nmost of the waste accumulation consists of organic and inorganic waste\nthat should be manageable from the source. \u201cWe can no longer rely solely\non slogans. Waste management must be carried out concretely and involve\nall parties so that the waste problem can be resolved together,\u201d Iin\nsaid.<\/p>",
