BANTUL - Minister of Environment or Head of the Environmental Control Agency (LH) Hanif Faisol Nurofiq visited the Piyungan Waste Processing Site (TPA) in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. Minister Hanif's visit is for inspection of waste management in this area.
"The Governor of DIY has taken steps or policies that teach us all that waste management must be carried out intensively. Then the TPA is also closed, reorganized, to make it more environmentally friendly," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 18.
The Minister of Environment previously also visited a number of waste depots, one of which was in Mandala Krida Yogyakarta. The existence of depots in DIY is an implication of closing Piyungan TPA, so that these provincial districts and cities take their own steps.
According to him, these waste depots actually disturb the community and pollute the environment.
"We ask the governor, regent, and head of service to immediately take effective steps in the field, especially strengthening the defense lines upstream or sources of waste," he said.

Hanif advised the provincial and district governments to build more waste banks and intensify counseling and education about waste sorting.
"When viewed from SIPSN (National Waste Management Information System) data, the most waste composition in DIY is food waste, leftover food. This is 'PR' for all. Because food waste is actually commercial goods if we process it smartly," he said.
In 2023, the composition of waste from leftover food in DIY recorded at SIPSN reached 50.56 percent, the second rank being plastic waste with a composition of 27.94 percent.
While the rest are wood, twigs, cardboard, paper, metal, cloth, glass, skin, rubber, and others.
