Immediate Impact Of Cipeucang Closure
Piles of uncollected garbage line a street in South Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia, on December 16, 2025, following the temporary suspension of operations at the Cipeucang Landfill (TPA). The cessation of dumping, reportedly due to site instability/landslide and subsequent rearrangement efforts, results in a critical waste overflow across the region. Local authorities urgently seek alternative disposal solutions to mitigate the environmental and public health risks posed by the accumulating waste. (Photo by Donal Husni/NurPhoto)
