Almaka IT Middle School Prepares Waste Sorting Facilities, 264 Students Provide Education

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Almaka IT Middle School in Kalideres, West Jakarta, equipped 264 students with knowledge of waste sorting through a seminar in the school hall, Friday (6/11/2026). The school also provides facilities for sorting organic, inorganic and residual waste so that students can apply this knowledge in their daily activities.

The availability of facilities supports the habit of sorting waste from the place where the waste is produced. The principal of Almaka IT Middle School, Ridwan Hasim, hopes that students can immediately practice sorting after participating in the activity.

According to Ridwan, the seminar aims to increase students' understanding and awareness of waste management. He said the students looked enthusiastic about participating in the activities.

Recognize waste that can be recycled

Kalideres Village Head, Rizky Raya Dwiputra, emphasized the importance of introducing the differences between organic, inorganic and residual waste from an early age. Students also need to understand materials that can be recycled as well as waste that must be handled as scrap.

According to him, this knowledge needs to be built into habits, both at school and at home. It is hoped that student involvement will help encourage families to sort waste.

"We can't just rely on cleaning crews. We have to start from ourselves," said Rizky, as quoted in a statement from the West Jakarta City Government.
