Jakarta, DINAMIKANEWS.com - Scavengers collect garbage on the landfill in Bantargebang area, Bekasi, West Java. Bantargebang Landfill is often described as the largest open-dumping landfill in Southeast Asia and one of the world’s biggest, serving Jakarta with massive daily waste intake and becoming a vast, populated waste mountain. As a center for government and economic activity, Jakarta has always been grappling with millions of problems. Traffic and public transportation may have become the city’s most infamous problems, but the city also grapples with other issues including jobs, waste, and now, the climate crisis. The local government tries to address most of those issues, but many are still left unsolved and even neglected. The Jakarta administration’s effort to “solve” its waste problem by dumping it in Bantargebang landfill, Bekasi, West Java, is still inadequate and largely ignored the scavengers’ contribution. Bantargebang scavengers were not recognized for their work to handle Jakarta waste problems.
