Waste in Jakarta continues to increase, while the land space is decreasing. The Jakarta Bantar Gebang Landfill has a great burden to accommodate tonnage of waste from Jakarta and surrounding areas every single day. However, landfill expansion to increase its capacity is not the right solution because land becomes more scarce and expensive these days. In addition, several locations in the landfill have reached their maximum capacity and are prone to landslides.

To solve this issue, reducing the waste from its source and integrated waste management are the solutions for Jakarta in municipal waste management. 

Municipal waste management in Bantar Gebang Landfill with landfill mining technology is aimed to rehabilitate the municipal waste disposal zone into green open space and to increase the landfill capacity.
