Bali Provincial Government Schedules Clean Bali Waste Movement Monthly

The Bali Provincial Government (Pemprov) once again held a waste clean-up campaign at Padanggalak Beach, Denpasar. The activity, titled the Clean Bali Waste Movement, is conducted regularly at least once a month.

“We have been conducting clean-ups and today we are working simultaneously in rivers, beaches, and lakes across all of Bali,” said I Gede Agung Teja Bhusana Yadnya, Head of Implementation of Bali’s Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), during an interview at Padang Galak Beach on Sunday (1 March 2026).

Teja noted that public enthusiasm for participating in the waste clean-up campaign at the beach was extremely high. The activity was attended by participants from traditional village communities, students, university students, and environmental groups.

“The enthusiasm is remarkable; the community turned out in full force. Even the schoolchildren participated,” explained Teja.

The Bali Provincial Government, he stated, conducts the Clean Bali Waste Movement regularly and situationally. Teja said the activity is carried out simultaneously across each regency and city.

Bali Governor Wayan Koster said that waste management must be handled through synergistic collaboration. Koster also highlighted Bali as a unified region with a single-island unified management pattern.

“For this reason, we have adequate regulations, namely Bali Governor Regulation Number 97 of 2018 on Limiting Single-Use Plastic Waste Generation and Bali Governor Circular Number 9 of 2025 on the Clean Bali Waste Movement to accelerate waste management based at source,” said Koster.

At the location, participants were observed carrying rubbish bags and collecting waste at Padanggalak Beach. The waste collected consisted mainly of tree branches and leaves.
