Open Dump Sarimukti

Open Dump Sarimukti
By Gede H. Cahyana


There is a big problem of solid waste management and disposal in Indonesia. What’s that? Volume! Volume or rate of generation is out of the box. Not business as ussual, for example is the tonnage of solid waste in Bandung city that dumped in Sarimukti.

TPA Sarimukti is the only one of disposal point for solid waste of Bandung and Cimahi. This point is an open dumping, not a sanitary landfill. For this time, management of solid waste always take a NIMBY principle: not in my backyard. It should be switched to another principle like waste for one is added value for another.

Sarimukti has two problems, i.e: quantity of solid waste and condition of disposal point. About 5,000 m3 per day, the generation of solid waste need a very large area for disposal such as sanitary landfill or at least controlled landfill. Not open dumping as usually. Social problem appeared because of the open dumping release its rotten odor and bad smell.

So, the leachate treatment is also failure to get the best quality of effluent, esspecially in rainy season, and because of its collapse in hydraudinamic coresspond to plant design. To make it become optimal treatment, leachate must be treated by plant that follow the design criteria in regulations or textbooks. For the solution of this problem of waste, the provincial government and three local governments around great Bandung basin need to work together to help each other, both in the provision of land for the sanitary landfill, and in terms of social and public health cases around the disposal area.


Rights and obligations of each local government should be accomplished so that there are no conflicts in the communities and result a win-win solution. *
