DENPASAR - Minister of Environment (LH) Hanif Faisol Nurofiq has stipulated that starting April 2026, organic waste types should no longer be dumped into the Suwung landfill, Bali as an effort to accelerate the transformation of waste management.
"We ask TPA Suwung to reduce its pressure, which can only be there is inorganic waste that has the potential to cause additional pollutant loads, so April can only enter Suwung is inorganic, organic must be completed upstream," said the Minister of LH, Thursday, March 5.
Minister Hanif on the sidelines of the Korve Bersih Sampah at Jimbaran Beach directed the local government, especially the Denpasar City Government and the Badung Regency Government, to complete the sorting of organic waste from its source, using facilities such as modern teba and composters.
This habit must be formed in the community within one month because the Suwung landfill still receives organic waste only until the end of March 2026.
This policy also includes a relaxation from the Ministry of Environment, because initially they only allowed the Suwung landfill to operate until the end of February 2026 yesterday.
Starting early April, the LH Ministry will carry out monitoring to ensure that no more organic waste enters the Suwung landfill.
Minister Hanif asked the local government in Bali to be firm with the public and private entrepreneurs, do not hesitate to reject mixed waste.
"So that we can act decisively against swakelola, to the public who do not sort their garbage, the garbage does not have to be transported, it must not enter the Suwung landfill, so that we all must try our best to sort the garbage from the upstream," he said.
He reminded that currently the Suwung landfill has entered the investigation period for environmental pollution, the central government no longer provides coercive administrative witnesses, but a criminal approach if the incoming garbage is not suppressed.
"It really shouldn't be organic waste anymore," said the Minister of LH.
According to him, limiting organic waste from entering the Suwung landfill is the only solution at this time, because of all types of waste in Bali, organic types dominate as much as 60 percent.
"No matter who it is, the garbage must be sorted from now on, without organic sorting, at the end of March it will no longer be allowed to enter the Suwung landfill," he said.
