        "summary": "The recurring waste accumulation in Jakarta during Eid al-Fitr is not merely a technical issue but stems from fundamental flaws in the waste management system, according to an environmental science lecturer at the University of Indonesia. Key factors include a surge in waste volume, low household sorting rates that burden transportation, and inadequate capacity of facilities and fleets to handle seasonal spikes. This reactive approach highlights the need for a more preventive strategy to address the problem effectively.",
        "content": "<p>Waste accumulation that repeatedly occurs in Jakarta every Eid\nal-Fitr moment is considered not just a technical issue on the ground.\nLecturer from the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of\nIndonesia, Mahawan Karuniasa, stated that there is a fundamental problem\nin the waste management system. The surge in waste volume during Eid is\none of the main triggers. In addition, low waste sorting from households\nworsens the situation. \u201cSecond, household sorting is still low, so\neverything mixes and burdens transportation,\u201d said Mahawan. He added\nthat the capacity of facilities and transportation fleets is not yet\ncommensurate with the seasonal waste surge. Mahawan assessed that this\ncondition shows that Jakarta\u2019s waste management system is still\nreactive. \u201cSo the problem is not just because the officers are not quick\nenough, but because its management is still reactive, not preventive,\u201d\nhe said. Previously, waste accumulation occurred in several areas of\nJakarta after Eid. Transportation queues once stretched for hours, and\nin some points, mountains of rubbish appeared. At the Kramat Jati Main\nMarket, for example, the waste pile once reached thousands of tonnes and\nhas not fully dissipated even though transportation has been carried\nout.<\/p>",
