Public Infrastructure and Facilities Handling Officers (PPSU) installed biopore tools in the residential area of RW 04, Tomang Village, Grogol Petamburan District, West Jakarta. Organic waste management using this biopore method is an effort to reduce the waste burden sent to the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST).
The biopore holes were made using 4-inch PVC pipes about 50 centimeters long, planted in areas with limited land.
This program aims to implement zero waste and reduce disposal to the Bantargebang TPST.
Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST)
Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST) is a major waste management facility located in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, serving as the primary landfill for Jakarta’s garbage since 1989. Originally a swampy area, it has grown into a massive 110-hectare site that processes over 6,000 tons of waste daily, utilizing modern technologies like waste-to-energy plants and methane gas capture. The site has also become a community hub, providing livelihoods for scavengers and recycling workers while facing ongoing challenges related to environmental impact and capacity.
