TPS 3R South Meruya Processes 3.5–4 Tons of Waste a Day, Pramono Encourages Optimization

GARISBUMI.com – JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com | The Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (TPS 3R) South Meruya Waste Processing Site, West Jakarta, only processes around 3.5-4 tons of waste per day. DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung is encouraging increased processing at these facilities, including through collaboration with the private sector, to reduce waste sent to the Bantargebang TPST.

According to information from the Jakarta Provincial Government, the capacity of TPS 3R South Meruya is said to have reached 7.3 tons. However, this statement does not explain the capacity unit time or the reason why the daily processing volume is still in the range of 3.5-4 tons.

Management of these facilities was one of the discussions at a limited meeting at the Kembangan District Office, West Jakarta, Tuesday (3/11/2026). Two other issues are flood management and widening Jalan Joglo Raya.

Private cooperation is directed at reducing waste

Pramono opens up opportunities for cooperation in managing TPS 3R South Meruya with private parties. He emphasized that this collaboration must provide significant benefits for reducing waste in Jakarta.

"We are really encouraging TPS 3R now and we are allowing it to be collaborated with the private sector," he said.

According to Pramono, this step is in line with Governor's Instruction Number 5 of 2026 concerning Community Movements to Process and Sort Waste at the Source.
