Governor Pramono Appreciates Pondok Kelapa Residents for Successfully Managing Organic Waste Through 150 Jumbo Biopore Points
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung gave a shout-out to the residents of RW 014 Pondok Kelapa, East Jakarta, who've managed to set up an organic waste management system using the Jumbo Biopore method. He shared his appreciation during a hands-on inspection of the community-based waste management in the area.
Pramono said the residents' efforts are proof that environmental solutions can start at the community level. This program lines up with the Jakarta provincial government's push to build a sustainable waste management system and hit targets for reducing waste generation. The residents' waste sorting and processing movement was already running before Governor's Instruction No. 5 of 2026 came out, which is about the Movement for Sorting and Processing Waste from the Source.
A total of 150 Jumbo Biopore points have been set up, covering around 300 homes. Household organic waste is dumped into biopore holes to get naturally processed into compost, so not everything has to be hauled off to the final processing facility. This also helps cut down the load of transporting and handling waste at the city level.
Pramono sees this approach as an effective fix for Jakarta's ever-growing trash problem. The success of RW 014 residents is a real-life example of how folks can actively chip in to shrink waste volume right from their households.
