Residents of 10 RTs in Samarinda Invited to Sort and Utilize Waste

SAMARINDA, GARISBUMI.com – Residents in 10 RTs in Harbor Subdistrict, Samarinda City, received socialization on waste processing through the Community Development and Empowerment Program (ProBebaya) 2026. This activity encourages residents to get used to sorting and utilizing waste that still has useful value.

Based on information from the Harbor Village published Monday (26/10/2026), these activities include RT 02, 03, 05, 10, 12, 17, 20, 21, 22 and 24.

The outreach material is aimed at increasing public understanding of waste management, from sorting it to identifying materials that can still be used. Residents are expected to apply this knowledge in their daily lives and be actively involved in maintaining the cleanliness of the environment.

Through ProBebaya, the Harbor Subdistrict places citizen participation as part of efforts to build a clean, healthy and comfortable environment.

However, the sub-district information does not yet detail the number of participants, processing methods introduced, or follow-up assistance to residents. Data on waste reduction from these activities is not yet available.

Thus, this socialization is an educational step to encourage changes in habits. The impact on waste reduction still needs to be seen from the implementation of waste sorting and utilization by residents after the activity.
