Sukadamai Green Residence Housing Implements Integrated Waste Management

Share :

Every day Daim walks around the Sukadamai Green Residence housing complex in Bogor City with his garbage cart. Checked some trash cans scattered in the housing. The garbage he found, then put into the cart. Meanwhile, his colleague Wahyu, transported organic waste from food in blue boxes that were also scattered at several points in the housing.  

In the housing estate, which is only filled with 50 houses, the waste that residents dispose of is already separated between organic and non-organic. Since the beginning of 2022, the existing facilities in the housing estate have been transformed into an integrated waste management site. Several members of the Ciliwung River Naturalization Task Force, participated in the assistance of residents. Educated to sort the waste produced from each house.  

"In the past, the residents here did not sort garbage. So the garbage is put together, and it often accumulates. It finally stinks," Daim said.  

In December 2021, the garbage in the housing complex was mountainous. The garbage hauling truck picked it up late. So it causes an unpleasant smell. Not infrequently, Daim takes shortcuts. Burning the garbage on the land next to the housing complex.  

Now everything has changed. The inorganic waste obtained from some scattered garbage cans was then sorted back by Daim. Waste that has economic value, then he collects. Such as plastic bottles, cardboard, and others. After collecting enough, he then sold the waste to collectors.  

"In a week I can make a thousand from sorting garbage," he said.  

Meanwhile, Wahyu, his fellow janitor, is responsible for managing organic waste. The wasted food waste such as vegetables, fruits, side dishes and others is then used as maggot feed. Several maggot boxes are displayed in the 6x3 meter building. 

Wahyu then put the organic waste into rectangular boxes in which there were already maggots. It is a kind of larva of the black soldier fly insect. Miraculously if organic waste quickly decays and causes a pungent smell, but this time it does not. "This organic waste will be eaten quickly by maggots. So it doesn't rot and stink," Wahyu said.  

Mature maggots are then periodically harvested. It is used to become animal feed such as chicken and fish. Not only that, maggot skin can also be processed into kasgot which is useful for becoming organic fertilizer. Meanwhile, the waste produced from the leaves and grass in the housing is also processed into compost.  

Waste management is designed to be integrated. So that the waste brought from the housing is only left. Sukadamai Green Housing resident Resince Mahrini said he was happy with the existence of a waste management site near his residence. He admitted that he became more understanding in sorting waste according to its type. Separated between organic and inorganic waste.  

"Now the food that is wasted is like leftover vegetables so there is a container. We used to just put it in separate plastic but when it was thrown away, it was kept together. Don't know the continuation of the garbage? Now we know that wasted food can also be processed. There are benefits such as for maggot feed," he said.  

He said that since there was a waste processing site, the transportation process has become more regular. Also makes the surrounding environment become cleaner and more comfortable. The waste treatment plant also does not cause a pungent smell as many residents fear.  

"Now it is separated between organic and non-organic. So it's obvious that the wet one is in the blue trash can, which is not next to it. All my family members already know, we from home have been slaughtered with garbage. The kids at home are also taught by me," she said.  

Executive Director of the Rekam Nusantara Foundation, Een Irawan Putra, who also lives in the housing, said that the infrastructure for the integrated waste management site was built with the help of the PSC (Plastic Smart Cities) program, a global movement to reduce plastic waste led by WWF.  

"There is a lot of housing in Bogor. It should also be able to provide a good and correct waste management site. So that no more garbage comes out of his housing. Or at least the residue just comes out," he said. 

That way, according to him, it can help solve thorny problems in waste. Unfortunately, so far, people are used to mixing the resulting waste. In fact, if it is sorted first from the beginning, the waste problem can be solved properly.  

"This means that there must be support for infrastructure facilities. And I realized, I couldn't possibly ask the APBD for that. Because I've always avoided that. Fortunately now there is help from the PSC," he said. Een said that the land used to build waste management infrastructure in his housing is a fasum. Residents also support that. Although in the early days, there were still many residents who mixed up their waste. He continued to remind residents intensely to sort out their waste.  

"Conditions are much better now, many residents come here. The garbage here is well managed so that it doesn't cause odors."  

Een said what is being done in the housing where he lives is very likely to be replicated in other areas. Moreover, according to him, all housing complexes have fasum land. This can be used to build integrated waste management infrastructure.  

"They have fasum, they have land. But surely the question is where does the funds come from? The local government is also difficult to manage. But here's a PSC. Can help danain wake up. But it can't just be building. It must be ensured that there are residents who can control the waste sorting process properly. Education to residents must continue," he said.  

Een hopes that the PSC program in the future can help densely populated settlements as well as housing complexes in Bogor City to also implement the same. Build infrastructure to manage waste in an integrated manner. Although he emphasized, the key to his success lies in the waste sorting process. This is what must continue to be socialized to citizens.  

"My hope is that this goes on. Residents sort garbage starting from their homes. The inorganic waste that enters here is then sorted again to be picked up which has economic value. The rest will be taken to TPS3R Mekarwangi which is now being built for processing. So that we can solve the problem. No more waste goes into the landfill," he said.  

Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto said that integrated waste management carried out in the Sukadamai Residence Housing complex is a very good practice. Proving residents' concerns about waste management can cause odors and dirty, can be overcome and do not disturb the environment.  

"Integrated waste management like in Sukadamai can run well if there is good cooperation. And the most important thing is to be able to provide economic value to the citizens," he said.  

Bima said the practice could be replicated in other housing. He also instructed the village head in Bogor City and the Head of the Environment Agency to study the good practices. So that later it can be adopted in the region.  

"This should be replicated elsewhere. So this is a waste management movement with a green economy pattern in a regular housing complex. In the future, if regulations are needed to regulate the pattern of cooperation, we can make Perwali as a derivative of the existing Perda on waste management," he said.***
