Rubbish Piles at Kramat Jati Market Have Been Cleared, Here's the Current Condition
The rubbish piles at Pasar Induk Kramat Jati have been cleared. Now, at the location, only the soil from the former rubbish piles remains.
detikcom observations at the site on Friday (10/4/2026) at 09.20 WIB revealed heavy machinery in the form of an excavator at the former rubbish pile location. Two large green trucks used for rubbish transport were still parked there.
The retaining walls that served as barriers for the rubbish are now clearly visible. Previously, these walls were obscured and even breached due to the height of the rubbish piles.
Some sections of the walls have not yet been reinstalled because they collapsed some time ago. However, at the location, several workers were seen repairing the damaged sections of the walls.
Based on data obtained by detikcom from Imam Kurniawan, Secretary of Perumda Pasar Jaya, the clearance was carried out over eight days, from 2 to 9 April 2026. Here is the transport pattern followed:
2 April: 7 trips (5 Typar, 2 Tronton),
3 April: 14 trips (6 Typar, 8 Tronton),
4 April: 16 trips (2 Typar, 14 Tronton),
5 April: 39 trips (1 Typar, 38 Tronton),
6 April: 36 trips (36 Tronton),
7 April: 34 trips (34 Tronton),
8 April: 30 trips (30 Tronton),
9 April: 22 trips (22 Tronton).
It is known that, in this accelerated effort, Pasar Jaya deployed dozens of rubbish transport vehicles each day. On average, there were about 40 trips for rubbish transport per day.
With that capacity, the volume of rubbish that could be transported reached 600-700 tonnes each day. This step was taken as part of efforts to normalise the environmental conditions at the market, which had been filled with rubbish piles.
In addition to transporting rubbish to processing sites, Pasar Jaya is preparing long-term solutions to address similar issues and prevent recurrence. One initiative being prepared is the operation of an incinerator machine or rubbish burning machine in the market area. However, this equipment is currently still in the trial stage.
