Jakarta Provincial Government Closes Zone 4 at Bantargebang Integrated Waste Management Facility Following Landslide
The Jakarta Provincial Government has temporarily closed the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Management Facility (TPST) following a landslide incident in Zone 4 on Sunday, 8 March 2026. The closure remains in effect whilst evacuation efforts continue.
Asep Kuswanto, Head of the Jakarta Environmental Services Agency (DLH), announced that Zone 4 is completely shut down for evacuation operations. The facility typically receives between 7,300 and 7,500 tonnes of waste daily, transported by approximately 1,200 truck trips. “Currently, Zone 4 is completely closed for the evacuation process. The average waste input is 7,300 to 7,500 tonnes per day with around 1,200 truck trips,” Asep said whilst inspecting the landslide site in Bekasi on Monday.
The agency is actively seeking alternative disposal sites in other zones to prevent waste accumulation in Jakarta. Meanwhile, operations at the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta, continue to be prioritised.
The Jakarta Environmental Services Agency responded immediately to the incident by activating emergency operations. Coordinated efforts across multiple agencies prioritised worker safety, victim assistance, and stabilisation of the affected area to enable rapid restoration of waste management services. Upon receiving the incident report, the agency deployed teams and coordinated response operations across relevant institutions.
“As soon as the incident was reported, we activated emergency operations. The primary priorities are worker safety, victim assistance, and accelerating the evacuation of vehicles buried by the landslide,” Asep stated.
The landslide has resulted in four fatalities: Enda Widayanti (25), Sumini (60), Dedi Sutrisno (22), and Iwan Supriyatin (40). Two individuals survived the incident. “Two people were rescued and four were found dead. Search and rescue teams are currently continuing their search for additional victims believed to be buried under the landslide,” said Desiana Kartika Bahari, Head of the Jakarta Search and Rescue Office.
