2.1.  Project Background

Solid Waste management is one of the main problems in many cities in Indonesia. Poor handling would lead to soil and air pollution, health issues and city livability. West Java province attempts to improve the use of sanitary landfill by developing Final Waste Disposal Site (TPPAS) in Legok Nangka. The location will replace existing TPPAS Sarimukti in which the operational expired in 2016. TPPAS Legok Nangka aims to provide processing and treatment of solid waste that covers the City of Bandung, Regency of West Bandung, Regency of Bandung, Regency of Sumedang, City of Cimahi and Regency of Garut. The TPPAS is located in Legoknangka, Ciherang, and Nagreg villages, Regency of Bandung with total area about ±74.6 Ha.
