TPS 3R South Meruya Rejects Mixed Waste, Residents Must Sort

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – Meruya Selatan Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS 3R) Waste Processing Site, Kembangan District, West Jakarta, has only accepted waste that has been sorted since October 1 2026. Cart attendants have also been asked not to transport residents' trash that is still mixed.

This policy was conveyed by the Mayor of West Jakarta, Iin Mutmainnah, during the Forkopimko activity of Greeting Residents in the Kalideres District Office Hall, Friday (2/10/2026).

"The upstream is a residential area, the waste has already been sorted. Cart officers are not allowed to transport it if it is not sorted to the residents. TMT October 1, I decided not to accept gabruk or mixed waste," stressed Iin.

South Meruya TPS 3R was prepared as a waste management pilot in West Jakarta. Iin hopes that the implementation of house sorting in this area can be an example for other areas.

According to him, citizen involvement is an important part in reducing waste at its source. He appreciated the community for carrying out these efforts.

The West Jakarta City Government has also launched activities with the City Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimko) on July 19 to clean up mud sediment in rivers and connecting channels, while encouraging waste reduction from the source.
