Efforts to manage waste at its source as part of the implementation of Jakarta Governor Instruction (Ingub) No. 5/2026 on Waste Sorting and Processing Movement at the Source are being intensified in Cipete Selatan Urban Village, Cilandak Sub-district, South Jakarta.

Cipete Selatan Urban Village Head Supriono said the effort is being intensified following the policy limiting waste disposal from Jakarta to the Bantar Gebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST).

"In addition to setting up waste management facilities, we are working with the South Jakarta Environment Sub-agency to step up public education on household waste sorting," he noted on Friday (6/12).

Supriono explained that Cipete Selatan Urban Village currently has 63 waste management facilities in the region.

"These facilities consist of 57 waste processing units made from used water gallons and five jumbo biopore holes," he added.

According to him, the waste management program has been widely implemented in RW 06 and 03, as well as within the Cipete Selatan Urban Village Office complex. The program focuses on processing organic waste into compost for plants.

"Non-organic waste such as cardboard, plastic bottles, and other materials is managed through waste banks. Meanwhile, residual waste is properly sorted before being collected by sanitation workers," he said.

Supriono urged all RWs in Cipete Selatan to immediately adopt similar programs. Despite limited land availability, the use of recycled water gallons as waste processing facilities has proven effective and easy to implement in residential areas.

"Let's work together to carry out the government's instruction so that when waste disposal restrictions take effect, residents will not panic because they already understand how to manage waste independently," he stressed.

Meanwhile, RW 06 Chairperson Naali Saidi said residents immediately put the program into action by repurposing dozens of water gallons for organic waste composting and building three jumbo biopore holes.

"We will continue striving to manage waste effectively so that it not only reduces the volume of waste sent for disposal but also creates economic value for residents," he asserted.
