Depok City Government-Ministry Of PUPR Builds 300 Ton Capacity Waste Processing At Cipayung TPA

Depok City Environmental and Hygiene Service (DLHK) in collaboration with the Ministry of PUPR to build a waste treatment plant at the Cipayung TPA as an effort to overcome the city's waste problems.

"There is an Improvement of Solid Waste Management to Support Regional Area and Metropolitan Cities program, namely cooperation between the Depok City Government (Pemkot) and the Ministry of PUPR, namely the construction of a waste treatment plant in the Cipayung TPA area," said Head of the DLHK Service Abdul Rahman as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 14.

The process of this program, he continued, had been running three years ago with the initials in the form of land acquisition in the Cipayung TPA area.

"At the Cipayung TPA, a waste treatment installation will be built with a capacity of 300 tons per day. In 2023 it will be included in the design basis and DED feasibility," he said.

"After that, an auction will be carried out and so on. In 2024, construction will be carried out and 2025 will be operationalized," he said.

The construction of the waste processing plant is carried out directly by the Ministry of PUPR.

"The first stage is around Rp. 70 billion. It's all done by the Ministry of PUPR. We provide land and we have done land acquisition," he said.

DLHK Depok also, he said, tried to collaborate with TPPAS Lulut Nambo, but until now TPPAS Lulut Nambo has not been operating.

Abdul Rahman said the Depok City Government was working on solving waste problems at the downstream and upstream levels.

"So that strategy is what we do at the downstream level. At the upstream level, we continue to educate about sorting waste into the community," he said.

Therefore, he appealed to Depok residents to help deal with waste upstream by sorting waste at the household level.

"Alhamdulillah, with the Depok HDI level, they (citizens) already understand the waste. Hopefully they want to sort it at the household level. This is a bit difficult. But we continue to urge," he said.
