Papanggo Encourages Residents of RW 07 to Sort Waste from Home

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Papanggo Subdistrict, North Jakarta, encourages residents of RW 07 to sort and process waste from home through a community-based waste management program. This step is aimed at reducing the volume of waste thrown away while increasing the utilization of household waste.

The program was socialized at the RW 07 Secretariat Office, Papanggo Village, Wednesday (30/9/2026), starting at 14.00 WIB. Residents received an explanation regarding the techniques for sorting organic and inorganic waste as well as the benefits of joint waste management in residential areas.

Papanggo Village Head Erwin Djati Kusuma said that successful waste management requires citizen involvement, starting from the habits of each household.

"Waste management is no longer just the government's responsibility, but rather a collective obligation that starts from individual awareness at the household level," said Erwin.

According to him, residents are expected to not only understand how to sort waste, but also be able to process it into something useful. The sub-district government will accompany the implementation of the program so that this habit can run consistently.

Assistance to Change Citizens' Habits

In this activity, resource person Restu Haps explained the technicalities and benefits of community-based waste management. The discussion session also discussed residents' questions regarding sorting organic and inorganic waste.

A community-based approach is expected to strengthen cooperation between residents in handling waste at its source. Apart from keeping settlements clean, this program is expected to provide benefits to the environmental health and economy of the community.
