Jakarta Strengthens Waste Processing at RW Level to Reduce Shipments to Bantargebang

The capacity of the sieving machine is an equipment specification, not the amount of waste that has been successfully processed. The available information does not yet contain the actual volume of processing or reduction of waste sent from that area to Bantargebang.

BRI Finance Main Director Ignatius Susatyo Wijoyo said the facility assistance was aimed at assisting the work of cleaning staff as well as supporting residents' habits of sorting waste from home.

Children and teenagers also learn to sort

Support through KSBBEnvironment also includes waste sorting training for children and teenagers. According to Purwanti, this activity is aimed at cultivating the habit of sorting from an early age.

He explained that this approach was in line with Governor's Instruction Number 5 of 2026 concerning the Movement for Sorting and Processing Waste from Source. This policy encourages a change in handling patterns from collecting, transporting and discarding to sorting, transporting and processing.

With this approach, sorting by residents needs to work together with transportation and processing support in their residential environment.

Head of Srengseng Sawah Subdistrict, Sunardi, assessed that the program helps match regional needs with support that the community can use.
