Bandung Faces A Waste Crisis
A resident disposes of waste onto a growing pile at a temporary waste disposal site (TPS) on Dakota Street in Bandung City, Indonesia, on November 11, 2025. The accumulation of garbage occurs due to disruptions in transportation to the Sarimukti landfill. This situation causes trash heaps at several TPS locations to rise over three meters high and nearly spill onto the road, producing a strong odor and posing potential hazards to motorists and nearby residents.
