YOGYAKARTA - The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) has prepared anticipatory steps to deal with potential accumulation of waste during the 2024 Eid homecoming flow.
DIY Regional Secretary (Sekda) Beny Suharsono said that the large volume of waste accumulation needs to be anticipated because DIY is estimated to have an arrival of 11.7 million travelers by 2024.
"We anticipate that people who go home to Yogyakarta will not be faced with accumulated and unfavorable waste as a result," said Beny at the Kepatihan Complex, Yogyakarta, Monday, April 1, as reported by Antara.
The anticipatory steps, he continued, have been prepared with the Bantul, Sleman, and Yogyakarta Regency Governments, which have been using the Piyungan Integrated Waste Management Site (TPST), Bantul.
Especially for the city of Yogyakarta, he continued, efforts were made to empty the waste in the waste depots to welcome Eid al-Fitr 2024. With the emptying, it is hoped that the volume of waste that is expected to increase during the Lebaran homecoming period can continue to be suppressed.
"Because we read that 11.7 million (homecomers) will become very large potential for piles of waste caused," he said.
Beny said that the total volume of waste buried by all waste depots in the city of Yogyakarta could reach 1,000 tons, so it needed to be vacated.
"Let's see how many piles are in all depots in the city. Approximately up to 1,000 tons, which now stops around the depot," he said.

According to Beny, various efforts to reduce the volume of waste will continue to be maximized until the travelers leave DIY.
"We anticipate arrival until his (homecoming) return from Yogyakarta to his area of origin with good managed waste," he said.
Acting Head of the DIY Tourism Office, Anita Verawati, said that tourist destinations and hotels in DIY mostly have independent waste processing so that the potential for waste accumulation from the tourist sector can be reduced.
However, according to him, extra efforts are needed to manage the waste produced by travelers and tourists during Eid.
"Actually, more garbage is not on tour, but more than household waste," he said.
