500 Houses in South Kembangan Sort Waste, Reduction in Shipments to Bantargebang Has Not Been Measurable

"Our cadres go directly to residents' homes, check trash bins, provide education on how to sort them properly, then attach stickers if they meet the criteria," he explained.

Apart from being a marker of participation, the stickers are intended as a form of appreciation for residents who consistently sort waste.

Segregated Waste Encouraged to be Processed

Junaidi explained that organic waste can be processed into compost, while inorganic waste that has economic value can be channeled through waste banks. This utilization is expected to reduce waste that ends up in the Bantargebang TPST.

However, the West Jakarta City Government's statement has not detailed the amount of waste that has been composted, distributed to waste banks, or the reduction in shipments to Bantargebang from 500 participating homes.

This statement also does not explain the mechanism for collecting and transporting segregated waste from residents' homes. Thus, the number of houses with stickers shows the scope of program participation, while the impact on waste reduction still requires data on management results.

Stickers Can Be Removed If Sorting Stops
