Households and Businesses in Bima City are Required to Sort Waste from Source

GARISBUMI.com – BIMA CITY, GARISBUMI.com | The Bima City Government requires households and business actors to provide segregated waste bins and separate waste from the source. Residents are also asked to follow the transportation schedule, which runs Monday through Saturday with no service on Sundays.

According to a statement from the Bima City Environmental Service (DLH) published on Tuesday (3/11/2026), these provisions are contained in Circular Letter Number 600.4/355/VII/2026 concerning the Obligation to Maintain Environmental Cleanliness and the Waste Reduction Program by Providing Segregated Waste Bins.

This policy targets waste management at home and business premises, starting from sorting, reducing single-use plastic, to discipline in removing waste for transport.

Waste is separated into three groups

In the Bima City DLH explanation, households and business actors are asked to separate organic, inorganic waste, as well as hazardous and toxic materials (B3).

The color distribution of containers mentioned in the statement is blue for organic waste, black for inorganic waste, and red for B3 waste.

This sorting is part of the implementation of the 3R principle, namely reducing waste, reusing and recycling.
