The Bandung City Environment Agency (DLH) stated that the transportation of waste in mid-January 2023 was hampered by problems at the Sarimukti Final Processing Site (TPA), West Bandung Regency, West Java. "So that the operational transportation activities did not run optimally," said the Head of the Bandung City DLH, DudyPrayudi, quoted from Antara, Sunday, January 15. As for this, it is stated in the Bandung City DLH Notification Letter Number: P/LH.04.04/187-DLH/1/2023. Head of the Bandung City DLH Dudy Prayudi said the problem was due to the queue of garbage transport vehicles in the TPA area. According to him, the queue was caused by improvements in heavy equipment for waste management at the Sarimukti TPA. His party has not been able to confirm the timing of repairing the heavy equipment. In order to overcome the accumulation of waste in each Temporary Disposal Site (TPS), he asked the public to make efforts to reduce, and process waste in their respective homes, or scale the area. In addition, he also appealed to the public to temporarily hold waste disposal to TPS so that there is no accumulation of garbage. In addition, he also encouraged the public to be able to sort out organic and inorganic waste as a step to minimize the accumulation of household waste.

For organic waste, according to him, the community can make compost or others. As for inorganic waste, people can coordinate with waste banks in their area and at the city level. "What is clear is that we will maximize the fleet and hopefully at the TPA it is normal, so that our truck there can return here to transport again," saidDudyPrayidi.
