  • The number of garbage trucks heading to the TPST Bantargebang landfill in Bekasi has decreased significantly.
  • This reduction is attributed to a more widespread implementation of waste sorting initiatives among Jakarta residents.
  • Jakarta's government plans to revitalize waste processing facilities (TPS3R) and collaborate with the private sector to further reduce landfill waste.

Jakarta's Governor Pramono Anung announced a notable decrease in the daily number of garbage trucks transporting waste to the TPST Bantargebang landfill in Bekasi, West Java. This reduction is a direct result of intensified waste sorting campaigns implemented across the city.

Previously, around 1,200 trucks entered Bantargebang daily. Now, there has been a decrease, with the number recently around 900.

"Previously, around 1,200 trucks entered Bantargebang daily," Pramono stated. "Now, there has been a decrease, with the number recently around 900."

To sustain and enhance this progress, the DKI Jakarta provincial government is committed to continuing its waste sorting programs. The governor urged all Jakarta residents to actively participate in waste sorting to effectively manage the capital's waste challenges. "There has been a significant decrease. We will continue with the waste sorting program. As Governor of Jakarta, I truly hope this waste sorting program is carried out as best as possible."

Beyond promoting sorting, Jakarta is also focusing on revitalizing its Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS3R) waste processing facilities. The government aims to invest in equipment and partner with private entities to enhance these facilities. The goal is to process more waste locally, thereby reducing the volume of residual waste sent to the Bantargebang landfill. "We are investing in several pieces of equipment and also cooperating with the private sector, so that before it goes to Bantargebang, it is already finished at the TPS3R," Pramono explained. "Hopefully, with this, the residue that will still be sent to Bantargebang will be greatly reduced."
