Jakarta Optimises TPS 3R Waste Management Ahead of Bantargebang Open Dumping Ban
The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is optimising its Reduce, Reuse, Recycle waste processing facility programme, known as TPS 3R, to handle waste comprehensively. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said that following the issuance of Governor’s Instruction (Ingub) Number 5 of 2026, waste management has undergone a transformation.
TPS 3R facilities now operate on a flow of sorting, collection and processing into residue. “Whereas it used to be collect-and-dump, it is now sort-collect-process,” said Pramono during a visit to the TPS 3R Menteng Atas facility in South Jakarta on Thursday, 30 July 2026.
He cited TPS 3R Menteng Atas, launched today as part of a reactivation and optimisation programme for waste processing. Pramono explained that the site previously served only as a collection point for waste from residents and the hospitality sector (hotels, restaurants and cafés) before being sent to the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Facility (TPST).
According to Pramono, from 1 August 2026 the Bantargebang TPST will no longer accept waste under an open dumping system. “We want to begin ensuring that what is sent to Bantar Gebang is, above all, only the residue.”
To that end, the regional government has begun rolling out this waste processing programme. The newly operational TPS 3R Menteng Atas is run in partnership with private companies PT Morego Green Indonesia and PT Metro Klina Intranusa.
The facility is said to have a capacity of up to 150 tonnes per day, although currently it processes only 30 tonnes in a single shift. “I have asked them not to work just one shift; I want it coordinated so they can work a minimum of two shifts, and three shifts would be even better,” said Pramono.
He believes that if the facility can handle up to 100 tonnes per day, it would ease the burden on the Bantargebang TPST. “And then there are 29 other TPS 3R facilities that we plan to organise in the same way as this one.”
On the same occasion, Head of the Environmental Agency Dudi Gardesi said there are currently around 31 TPS 3R sites recorded in 2026, although not all have been optimised.
“So the model we are applying here at Mentas (Menteng Atas) is what we will replicate, and we will try to optimise facilities with a capacity of up to 100 tonnes through partnerships with third parties,” said Dudi.
As such, there are no further plans to add new TPS 3R sites. Dudi emphasised that the focus is on optimising the existing 31 facilities so each can handle a capacity of 100 tonnes per day.
