Bandung Faces A Waste Crisis

A sanitation worker climbs a pile of garbage at a temporary waste disposal site on Dakota Street in Bandung City, Indonesia, on November 11, 2025. The waste buildup occurs after garbage trucks are unable to access the Sarimukti landfill. The situation causes trash heaps at several temporary waste disposal site locations to rise over three meters high, nearly spilling onto the road, posing health risks and hazards to motorists and nearby residents.
