7 truckloads of trash left after Persib’s championship celebration in Bandung.

Bandung –

The Environmental Agency (DLH) recorded that waste after the Persib championship celebration night in Bandung City reached 7 trucks. The waste generation was estimated to reach tens of tons at that time.

The head of the Bandung City DLH, Darto, stated that after the championship celebration night, officers were immediately deployed to handle the waste generation. Since early Sunday (5/25/2026), based on field sweeps, one of the most prominent points was in the Cikapayang area, which became a gathering point for bobotoh.

“Around 5:30 AM local time, in the Cikapayang area alone, six sacks of bottle waste were found. This is an anomaly because the amount is quite large,” said Darto.

The dominant types of waste were plastic bottles and food packaging. However, officers also found other concerning types of waste, such as used flares and pieces of firecrackers.

“We collected three large sacks of used flares just in Cikapayang. Not to mention the leftover firecrackers scattered around,” he said.

Similar conditions were also found on several main roads traversed by the convoy. Such as on Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda (Dago), Pasupati Flyover, and the area around Gedung Sate towards Sukajadi.

“Along Pasupati from Gedung Sate towards Sukajadi, it was very dirty. Meanwhile, towards Pasteur, it was relatively cleaner,” he revealed.

To handle this condition, the DLH deployed 69 sweeping officers who started working from 4:00 AM local time. The cleaning was also supported by a fleet consisting of two garbage motorcycles, five pickup trucks, one truck, and one compactor truck.

However, he admitted that the cleaning process did not run optimally. Darto explained that the movement of officers was often hindered by the large number of people still staying at the location until the morning.

“When the crowd was still gathered, we had difficulty moving. For example, in Cikapayang, even in the morning, many had not dispersed,” he explained.

The DLH recorded six main points of crowd accumulation that contributed to the high volume of waste. These points include the Pendopo area, Cikapayang, Pasupati Flyover, Gedung Sate, Islamic Center (Pusdai), the Graha Persib and Taman Radio area, and along Jalan Dago.

Based on a temporary estimate, the volume of waste generated from one day of convoy activities reached about seven trucks. This amount has the potential to increase as the series of celebrations continues.

The DLH adjusted cleaning efforts according to field conditions. Maximum cleaning could only be carried out after the crowds began to thin out.

“We estimate the crowd will only start moving around 3:00 PM local time. After that, cleaning can be more optimal,” he said.

Darto urged the bobotoh to maintain cleanliness while celebrating the victory of their pride team. He highlighted the habit of discarding and breaking bottles, which worsened the waste condition. He hopes the euphoria of Persib’s victory will be accompanied by awareness of environmental preservation so that Bandung City remains clean and comfortable for all residents.

“Feel free to celebrate the victory, but don’t break bottles. Whole bottles are already difficult to handle, let alone broken ones, because they have to be picked up one by one,” he concluded.
