West Java Deploys 25,000 Students, Targets Greater Bandung Waste to Reduce by 1,000 Tons a Day

Reduce Sarimukti Landfill Burden

Herman hopes that handling from source to final processing can help extend the operational period of the Sarimukti TPA until December 2029. This effort is being carried out while waiting for the waste processing facility to become electrical energy at the Legok Nangka TPPAS, which is targeted to be fully operational in 2030.

"The Governor's hope is that Sarimukti can be operational until December 2029. We are working on upstream, midstream and downstream," he said.

According to Herman, the Greater Bandung waste problem requires the involvement of the community and various parties. Handling is not enough to move waste from one place to another.

"We cannot continue to carry out transportation without comprehensive treatment. It's time for the community and all components to participate," he stressed.

He invited residents to start reducing and sorting waste in their daily lives. This participation is expected to help reduce processing costs while preventing a waste crisis in Greater Bandung.
