1.

Its estimated 56% of Indonesians have access to waste collection and disposal systems
2. Nationally, its estimated 38.5 million tons of waste are produces annually, equates to just
under half a kg of waste per person per day.
3. National Statistics for Waste Generation and Disposal

4. Waste volumes are higher and organic content lower on urban centres, municipal solid waste
in Indonesia has high organic content.
5. The Ministry of Environment (KLH) estimated in 2012 that just 23.4 percent of waste is
collected by formal systems. The remainder is disposed of as follows
Buried underground (4.2 percent)
Composted (1.1 percent)
Burnt (52.1 percent)
Disposed of in drainage, river or sea (10.2 percent)
Disposed of in other non-designated places (9 percent)
6. An estimated 10-20 percent of all waste is recycled by the community and private sector.
7. At 2013, provincial and distric budgets, on average, only allocate 2 percent towards SWM,
this is often combined with other needs such as maintenance of parks and gardens.
8. SWM is not a direct contributor to economic growth (unlike roads, ports, etc), so need ot be a
priority within the budget process (perception amongst dictric and regional authorities)
9. Indonesia already has a well-established private sector recycling industry, up to 20 percent of
plactics, metals, glass, paper, tyres, and other materials are recovered and recycled by private
sector individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
10. A recent UNDP waste management livelihoods project formed 220 SMEs which generated
over USD 6 million in revenue within the first two years of operation.
11. Record shows, despite the implementation of regulations, MSW management performance
has not improved significantly. The most crucial problem is:
Low commitment from Local Governments to make sanitation a priority, which stem
from insufficent:
i. Human resources
ii. Funding
iii. Absence of proper institutional arrangements to handle the MSW system at
city/distric level.
iv. Low levels of awareness in the community
v. Absence of law enforcement to achieve proper MSW management.

12. AUSAID Project Development Objective (PDO) is to support improvements to solid waste
management in participating municipalities through selective interventions in waste
minimization, collection, transfer, separation and disposal.
