REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANTUL -- The Government (Pemkab) of Bantul Regency and the City Government (Pemkot) of Yogyakarta have agreed to cooperate in managing waste, following the implementation of the policy of decentralization of waste in DIY. Through this policy, self-employed councils/authorities are required to manage their waste independently.
The Regent of Bantul, Abdul Halim Muslih said that his agency will start managing the urban waste of Yogyakarta City from June 2024. In order to support independent waste handlers, Bantul Regency is also building a waste treatment facility.
One of them is the Intermediate Treatment Facility (ITF) waste treatment facility in Bawuran, Pleret with carbonation technology. This waste treatment facility was built with an investment value of more than IDR 400 billion.
“One of the waste processing products at ITF Bawuran is the raw material of a tech panel whose production site will soon be built near ITF Bawuran, with an investment value of more than IDR 400 billion,” Halim said not long ago.
