Indonesian community waste management initiatives

Overview

Local governments across various Indonesian regions are expanding community-based waste management initiatives, primarily through the use of waste banks (Bank Sampah).

In Indragiri Hilir and Yogyakarta, efforts have focused on household-level waste sorting and the optimization of existing waste banks to reduce landfill burdens and foster an environmental culture. In Banten, these initiatives have expanded to include circular economy programs. This includes village-level education in Binong to encourage organic and inorganic waste sorting, as well as the ‘KOLASE’ program in Cilegon, which collaborates with schools and industries to teach sustainable waste management to students.
