DENPASAR - Bangli Regent Sang Nyoman Sedana Arta said he would socialize to the public the plan for the Bangli landfill in Landih Village as an alternative for waste disposal by Denpasar and Badung.
This was conveyed by the Regent of Sedana Arta after discussing with the Minister of Environment, the Governor of Bali, the Mayor of Denpasar, and the Regent of Badung, where their landfill will be the location for storing waste after the Suwung landfill is completely closed.
"I just listened to the exposure from the Minister of LH today, so of course I also have to socialize to all components of the community how this garbage can also be accepted well," he said, Monday, December 29.
The Regent admitted that he did not know in detail the flow of the use of the Bangli landfill for waste from Denpasar and Badung, but what is certain is that not all waste is brought to the place considering that the two large areas have carried out strategic steps on waste processing from sources.
"Waste processing at the source has also been done a lot, but in the end, for example, if there are still leftovers, the landfill we have in Bangli is international standard, Bali is the basis of tourism, so we also want to be an alternative short-term solution," said Sedana Arta.
The Regent explained that the Bangli landfill, which is located in Landih Village, is located in a deep valley, with little daily waste from the Bangli community, so the landfill, which has been operated since 2010, still has a large capacity.
However, the regent still emphasized that not much garbage was brought there, even if possible before the waste processing into electricity (PSEL) was completed, Denpasar and Badung were able to solve their garbage problems, so that they would no longer throw it into the Bangli landfill.
To the public, he said that this permit was given by the Badung Regency Government solely to maintain Bali's tourism image in the eyes of the world from the problem of garbage in Denpasar and Badung.
The Mayor of Denpasar IGN Jaya Negara added that they themselves were actually reluctant to burden Bangli with garbage, especially since the distribution of a lot of cross-district garbage also puts a lot of burden on the road.
However, the Minister of LH rejected the request to open the Suwung landfill at least until the PSEL project was running.
"We have no intention at all to throw garbage outside Denpasar, we have said that we will solve 245 tons per day with maximum efforts at TPST we will solve up to 500 tons of garbage, we ask the minister 500 tons are only 200 trucks, we ask that the 200 tons be given the opportunity to Suwung landfill, it turns out that the minister did not allow it," he said.
