The Depok City Government announced that it will build a waste processing plant with a daily capacity of 1,000 tons at the Cipayung Final Landfill (TPA Cipayung) to ease the local waste processing burden and reduce dependence on the Nambo Waste Processing Plant (TPPAS Nambo). The Acting Head of the Depok City Environment and Cleanliness Agency stated that the city government is currently advancing cooperation with partner PT BSA, and the two parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and are currently in the stage of drafting a formal Cooperation Agreement (PKS). To ensure the project proceeds in compliance, the municipal government is coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs on regional and third-party cooperation (KSDPKC), and will communicate with the Ministry of Environment regarding equipment usage, especially regarding the subsequent export of waste-derived products. At the same time, the agency has submitted relevant documents to the City Council and invited scholars from the University of Indonesia (UI) to evaluate the waste processing service fee (tipping fee) proposed by the partner, assessing whether the tariff is reasonable.

Project Timeline

  • Target to complete the signing of the cooperation agreement by the end of February 2026
  • After Eid al-Fitr (early May) to hold the groundbreaking ceremony
  • Construction period is expected to take 6 months, with completion in October 2026
  • Trial operation in 2026, with full operation in 2027
The head of the agency emphasized that the project will adhere to the principles of prudence and comprehensiveness, advancing steadily under the premise of compliance and reasonableness, without neglecting key steps in pursuit of progress. Once completed, the waste processing plant will become a key infrastructure for solving Depok's waste problem.
