Bandung Focuses on Infrastructure Before Deploying 151 Waste Processing Units

The Bandung City Government is currently preparing supporting infrastructure and ensuring community readiness before receiving waste processing machines from the West Java Provincial Government. Bandung Mayor M. Farhan stated that the city administration is focusing on establishing the necessary infrastructure before accepting the waste processing machines. The required infrastructure includes a minimum of 100 square meters of land at each location, as well as enclosed facilities to prevent potential environmental issues. “Before receiving waste processing machines for 151 urban villages, we must first prepare the sites. We need at least 100 square meters of land at each location, complete with enclosed buildings, along with sociological readiness from local residents,” Farhan said in Bandung on Thursday (June 11, 2026). Farhan emphasized that adequate supporting infrastructure is essential because each machine is expected to process approximately five tons of waste per day. Without properly designed facilities and sufficient air circulation, the waste processing activities could negatively affect the comfort of nearby residents. “When five tons of waste arrive every day, it must not create environmental disturbances. That is not an easy task. Therefore, before the machines are delivered, we must first prepare the necessary infrastructure,” he said. Regarding the funding scheme for the waste processing machines, Farhan explained that the costs will be shared between the provincial and municipal governments. The West Java Provincial Government will fully finance the procurement of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) waste processing units, which convert waste into fuel briquettes. Meanwhile, the Bandung City Government will be responsible for providing the land, constructing protective facilities, and conducting public outreach and community engagement programs. “We are currently preparing the infrastructure in all 151 urban villages. One village will receive one machine. I believe the technology is RDF, although I have not seen the units myself yet. The machines will be fully funded by the provincial government, while the infrastructure will be provided by the city government,” he added. [SOURCE]
