Observasion Garbage Problem in Pontianak

Garbage is becoming a common problem in big cities, the more residents there are, the
more volume of waste produced. To get around the garbage problem, not only various programs
are carried out by local governments and communities that have a concern for waste.This certainly
has an impact on increasing the population of the city which is also comparable to the waste that
will be produced. However, it is not directly accompanied by the provision of facilities and
infrastructure that are not comparable to the government, consequently the existing services are
not optimal and there is a decrease in the quality of the environment, especially in the problem of
transporting municipal solid waste.But if it is not possible, he appealed for the waste to be disposed
of in an orderly and neat manner. Because indeed handling the garbage problem cannot be
eliminated even for only one day.The rapid development of urban development in Indonesia,
followed by an increase in the movement of some rural people to cities with the assumption that
they will get a better life.
As with the City of Pontianak, according to the Head of the Environment Agency (DLH)
Sri Sujiarti said from the plan to make floating garbage disposal sites until there is an economical
waste sorting education program from home.Sorting waste is economically valuable, referred to
as garbage that can still be used to be sorted first. So that those dumped at the polling station are
really garbage that cannot be processed. In addition, waste management has so far sought to
manage it in the community.He head of the Pontianak City Environmental Agency (DLH) Tinorma
Butar Butar revealed, if on a normal day the production of garbage is an average of 400 tons per
day, currently increasing to around 500 tons per day. This means that there are additions of around
20 percent to 25 percent. To reduce the volume of waste disposed at the TPS, Tinorma suggested
that dry waste could actually be stored or not disposed of first. Disposal can be done after Eid,
when waste production decreases.
garbage is divided into two organic and non-organic waste
1. organic trash
Organic waste is residual waste from living things both humans, animals and plants and is easily
decomposed. Bacteria are very important agents because of their role as natural decomposers.
This garbage is very environmentally friendly because it comes from living things so that if we are
dealing with organic waste it does not need to be strange to love chemicals, after all, it will
decompose itself.
2. non - organic waste
Non-organic waste is essentially waste that does not originate from living things except
human activities (hehehe). The source of non-organic waste can be varied, some of which are
industrial, household and gas and petroleum products This Non-Organic Waste is very difficult to
decipher, bacteria just give up and raise their hands. Bacteria can actually break down but
unfortunately it takes a very long time even hundreds of years.
Waste problems become one of the complex problems, not only in Indonesia but also in
the world. Poor and wise waste management can have a huge impact on life on earth.
1. Affect for Health
2. Impact on the air
3. Impact on social life
The following is an attempt to overcome the waste problem
1. t to go into a world without garbage is to reduce the waste that we "will" produce. As
consumers, it is necessary to start preventing (or minimizing) the presence of waste that
will result from spending.
2. the ingredients / goods that we already have do not be quickly turned into garbage. Try to
reuse various items or packaging as long as possible
3. ecycling waste into more valuable items such as plastic bottles into flower pots, newsprint
into recycled paper and more.
