11 Companies Dumping Waste at Illegal Jakarta Disposal Sites Sanctioned, Licences at Risk of Revocation
The Jakarta Environmental Agency (DLH) has imposed administrative sanctions on 11 companies providing waste transport services that dumped rubbish at illegal disposal sites. The companies were fined and face having their licences revoked if they repeat the offence.
Head of DLH DKI Jakarta Dudi Gardesi said supervision is carried out across the entire waste management chain, from waste sources, transport companies, operational vehicles, to processing facilities and final disposal sites. The enforcement is part of efforts to tighten oversight so that waste does not end up at illegal disposal sites.
“What we are building is an orderly waste management system from upstream to downstream. Service providers are required to operate in accordance with their permits, while service users must also ensure their waste is handed over to legal companies and taken to proper processing facilities,” Dudi said in a statement on Friday (28/8/2026).
Dudi stressed that no waste transport or processing activities may take place outside the official system. According to him, every party must be responsible for the waste it produces or transports.
“Every party must be responsible for the waste it produces because when governance is not proper, the impact is ultimately felt by the public and the environment,” he said.
Head of the Supervision and Legal Compliance Division of DLH DKI Jakarta Helmy Zulhidayat said the six companies newly sanctioned are CV Wira Satria Mandiri, CV Al Ihsaniah, PT Hino Karya Mandiri, CV Super Steel Tiga Bersaudara, PT Cuan International Group, and PT Jangjo Teknologi Indonesia.
The enforcement was carried out after DLH summoned and sought clarification from the companies regarding the implementation of their obligations in accordance with their business permits. From the examination results, CV Wira Satria Mandiri, PT Hino Karya Mandiri, and PT Cuan International Group were found to have used operational vehicles not listed in their permits to transport waste from client companies.
Meanwhile, CV Super Steel Tiga Bersaudara was found to have a discrepancy at one of its waste collection locations. Waste from that location was transported in an unsorted condition and then sorted at a location that did not hold a Waste Management Business Permit. Waste from other collection locations was known to be routinely transported by the company to the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Facility.
In addition, five other companies, namely CV Wira Satria Mandiri, CV Al Ihsaniah, PT Hino Karya Mandiri, CV Super Steel Tiga Bersaudara, and PT Cuan International Group, were found to have carried out waste sorting or processing activities without holding a Waste Management Business Permit. Helmy explained that the permits held by these companies were only as providers of waste transport services, or transporters.
“If the permit is as a transporter, then the main activity is transporting waste in accordance with regulations and channelling it to legitimate processing facilities. Sorting and processing activities must be carried out at facilities that hold permits according to their designation,” he explained.
Meanwhile, PT Jangjo Teknologi Indonesia already held both a Waste Transport Service Business Permit and a Waste Management Business Permit. However, the company was found to have used operational vehicles not listed in its permit for waste transport activities.
For these violations, the six companies were subject to administrative sanctions in the form of coercive fines of Rp10 million each. The sanctions were imposed based on Article 131 paragraph (1) of DKI Jakarta Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2013 concerning Waste Management.
In addition to the coercive fines, the companies received written warnings in accordance with Article 21 paragraph (1) letter a of DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation Number 102 of 2021 concerning Waste Management Obligations in Areas and Companies.
The six companies were also required to submit written statements pledging not to repeat the violations. If they commit further violations, DLH DKI may take follow-up action up to licence revocation.
The six companies add to five waste transport service providers previously sanctioned by DLH DKI. Those five companies are PT Sinar Berdikari Cemerlang Idaman, PT Mapanji Kamila Graha, PT Arie Karya Utama, PT Samhana Indah, and PT Pradana Sukses Prima. In total, 11 waste transport service providers have now been sanctioned.
Dudi said enforcement against transport companies is not the end of oversight. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will also expand supervision to waste producers and parties using transport services.
