Pramono Anung: Jakarta's Waste Segregation Programme Reaches 23.14 Percent

GUBERNUR DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung Wibowo has revealed that the waste segregation programme in the capital has reached 23.14 percent as of early August 2026. This achievement is part of the transition from a collect-transport-dispose waste management system to a sort-transport-process model.

Pramono acknowledged that the transition still faces obstacles on the ground. He noted that some parties have not been disciplined in sorting waste, particularly from the private sector serving the Hotel, Restaurant, and Café (Horeka) category. He highlighted instances of illegal waste dumping by these private operators.

As a firm measure, Pramono has instructed his staff to publicly announce the names of private companies proven to have violated waste disposal regulations. This is intended to create a deterrent effect and ensure transparency regarding the origin and destination of the waste.

‘Previously it was tolerated, now I am asking for the company’s name to be announced to the public, where they got the waste from, and why it was dumped there,’ he stressed.

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has implemented an administrative sanction in the form of a IDR 5 million fine for private entities found not sorting their waste correctly. Pramono warned that his administration will not hesitate to revoke business permits for repeated violations.

To reduce the burden on the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Treatment Facility, the provincial government continues to optimise Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Waste Processing Facilities (TPS3R) and strengthen the role of Waste Banks across Jakarta. Pramono is targeting 100 percent waste management in Jakarta by 2028. This optimism is supported by the planned operation of a Waste-to-Energy Power Plant as a final processing solution for the capital’s waste.
