Before South Meruya TPS-3R operates, residents are asked to sort their waste from home

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – The West Jakarta City Administration is strengthening waste sorting from the source before the pilot reduce, reuse, recycle (TPS-3R) based waste processing site in South Meruya starts operating.

West Jakarta Mayor Iin Mutmainnah visited residents' homes, schools and a number of neighborhoods in South Meruya Village, Kembangan District, door to door, Monday (28/9/2026).

The inspection was carried out at RT 09, RT 10, and RT 02/RW 02, SDN Meruya Selatan 03, SMPN 206 Jakarta, and RT 04/RW 09. This activity aims to ensure that the community in the TPS-3R service area has sorted waste from home.

"In order to prepare the pilot TPS-3R in South Meruya, we ensure that the four sub-districts within the reach of dumping waste at TPS-3R have sorted the waste," said Iin.

According to Iin, the ability of each community unit to sort and process waste still varies. A number of RWs have managed waste independently, while other areas still need gradual assistance.

Guidance is carried out together with city, sub-district, sub-district government officials and environmental elements. The RW management acts as a manager at the neighborhood level by involving the RT to invite the community to sort waste.

"For RWs that are still in process or preparation, we are providing coaching in stages from the city, sub-district and sub-district levels together with LH. RW as manager involves regional apparatus such as RT to invite the community to sort waste," he explained.
