Stop Trash Before Manggarai, Jakarta Will Install Filters in 11 Rivers

Garbage Filters Will Be Developed in 11 Rivers

The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government will develop a similar system in Kali Sunter, Cipinang, Jatikramat, Baru Timur, Baru Barat, Angke, Grogol, Krukut, Buaran, Kalimalang and Cakung.

"We will develop treatment like this in 11 rivers in Jakarta. Jakarta currently has 13 rivers and one of them is this, the Ciliwung River," said Pramono.

The expansion of waste filters is part of Jakarta's waste management which connects handling from upstream to downstream. Pramono mentioned the SSTBS facility, a waste processing site using the principle of reduce, reuse, recycle (TPS 3R), as well as the Rorotan and Bantargebang refuse-derived fuel (RDF) facilities as supporting facilities.

He also emphasized the change in Jakarta's waste management pattern, from transport-dispose to sort-transport-process. This pattern refers to Governor's Instruction Number 5 of 2026 concerning Waste Sorting.

Through this pattern, waste is encouraged to be sorted and processed so that material that can still be used does not all end up at the final processing site.
