Waste management initiatives in Indonesia

Overview

Local governments in Indonesia are implementing various strategies to address waste accumulation. In Bekasi, municipal authorities are promoting community-based management through neighborhood waste banks and household sorting to manage approximately 500 tons of unmanaged waste daily, with goals for strengthened environmental management by 2028.

In Banyuwangi, efforts are focused on both coastal and riverine environments. Initiatives include beach clean-up activities at Mustika Beach supported by private sector cooperation to maintain tourism cleanliness. Additionally, the Banyuwangi Regency government has launched a multi-stage plan for the Kalimati River following a cleanup that removed 15 tons of waste. This strategy involves installing netting and CCTV cameras to prevent dumping, targeting behavioral changes, and addressing abandoned shipwrecks in the area.
