JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Household organic waste in Kemanggisan, West Jakarta, is used as maggot feed through processing facilities in residential areas. The maggot house on Jalan Kemanggisan Ilir II, RT 006/RW 006, is said to be capable of processing around 40-60 kilograms of organic waste every day.

Kemanggisan Village Head, TB Rafiudin, said the facility had only been operating for about two weeks. Residents can bring household organic waste to the location to be used as maggot feed.

This processing is one of the steps taken by Kemanggisan Village, Palmerah District, in carrying out waste sorting movements in accordance with Governor's Instruction Number 5 of 2026.

Household waste becomes food

According to Rafiudin, the maggot house opens a processing route for organic waste that has been separated by residents. This material is used as feed in cultivation activities.

He said the facility's daily processing capacity was in the range of 40-60 kilograms. This figure is information from the sub-district office, while details of daily waste weight recording have not been included in the information published by the West Jakarta City Government.

Rafiudin also said that the maggot house was able to reduce organic waste by around 20 percent. However, the available information does not explain the basis for the calculation, the measurement period, or the regional coverage of the reduction figure.
