in one of the outlying cities of Jakarta Tangerang a dedicated waste specialists team worked hard to significantly reduce the amount of waste from their city ends up in landfills.

ABU and Co. have been in operation for over 20 years, and today they collect waste more than 10,000 homes, offices, schools and even the city clinics Tangerang. Garbage is taken on a daily basis by their own trucks to Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Terpadu (TPST - Sustainable discharge)., Where the magic happens

In PTSD, the team ABU and Co. go through the collected waste to separate recyclable from non-recyclable items, including organic waste. Recyclables together to be sold to recycling plants, organic waste is composted, and the remaining 20% ​​garbage, which includes diapers are incinerated in their incinerator on site.

The end result? Nothing is going to Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA - discharge).

The team behind ABU and Co. often meet with members of the government to explain how the system of PTSD is much more durable than sending waste to a landfill, which is still the system in place for the city of DKI Jakarta. Manager S. P. Dodik says that the main problem regarding the waste is organic waste. "If you have two garbage bags, one filled with recyclables and organic waste," Dodi said, "and you leave bags outside your door, which you think will be taken? Recyclables, of course! "Dodi explained that the problem is that organic waste from Jakarta ends up in a landfill, releasing methane, a gas harmful greenhouse effect in the atmosphere as they decompose. Therefore ABU Co. and compost all organic waste to their PTSD.

Dodi believes in the power of PTSD and sanitation services that other cities should follow the example set by ABU and Co. "If we have multiple locations rather than TPST a giant landfill, as in Jakarta, the waste can be properly disposed of and there will not be a giant mountain of waste as we do in Bantar Gebang, "he said.

Dodi and his team are trendsetters and hope the rest of Indonesia follows the waste management traces of Tangerang.
