Landfill in The City of Sukabumi



   Temporary garbage disposal sites are places for waste before it is transported to a recycling, processing, and / or integrated waste processing facility (Law No. 18 of 2008). Meanwhile, in accordance with the provisions of SNI number 03-3241-1994 concerning the procedure for selecting the location of the Final disposal area for garbage, the final waste disposal site is a physical facility for the final disposal of waste in the form of a place used to isolate the waste without risk. There are several methods of piling up waste at the TPA:

1.Open Trench Dumping

    It is a way to dispose waste into existing natural trenches or trenches that have been used for mining. The chosen place should be far from residential areas (so that people avoid the smoke of burning garbage). Here are some of the advantages of the Open Trench Dumping system:

a. More efficient land use;
b. Improve unfavorable soil topography;
c. Using natural trenches that are not utilized by the population;
d. Can avoid pollution of water sources and produce less smoke;
e. Can be used for a relatively long time;
f. Kills waste microorganisms, flies and mice as well
g. Produce formed land that can be used for productive agricultural activities.

2.Open Dumping

    It is a way of disposing and piling up trash on open land. Is a simple way of disposing of garbage by utilizing the topography of the land. Terms of open dumping site must be far from residential areas because this method has the potential as a breeding ground for flies, mice and other organisms.

3.Dumping On Sea

   IIs a method of disposal and landfill of garbage on the beach. Shallow, non-choppy beaches, far from the riverbanks, not as a landing place for fishing boats, can be used as garbage dumps. This can be done by making separating embankments on the beach so that the garbage is not carried away by the waves.

4.Sanitary landfill

    Some of the requirements for this sanitary landfill method are the existence of wide land, infertile soil conditions, tend to be barren and water difficult (dug wells). It is also far from residential areas, fulfilling the ideal requirements as a place for dumping and landfilling. The stages of landfilling in the sanitary landfill:

a. The initial stage of this process is to make a rectangle using a bulldozer;
b. Garbage dumped from the truck is put into the hole, compacted by means of a full garbage compactor;
c. After the hole is full of garbage, a new hole is made next to it. And so on, so that the ground surface becomes flat.

    The open dumping method is not recommended because it can be used as a reproducing vectors such as flies and mice, water pollution due to the large amount of leachate (waste liquid), aesthetic disturbances due to dirty scenery, and also air pollution due to odors and gases produced. Common gases found in landfills due to open dumping include methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen disulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3) and others

    According to Mukono (2006) there are two methods of disposing of waste:
1. Unsatisfactory methods :
    a. Open dumping,
    b. Disposal of waste in water (dumping in water),
    c. Burning garbage in the yard (burning on premise).
2. Satisfactory methods include:
    a. Compost system waste disposal (composting),
    b. Incinerator waste burning,
    c. Disposal of waste by covering the soil in a sanitary manner (sanitary landfill)

    According to Azwar (1979), these are several conditions for Final disposal area:
1. Not close to sources of drinking water or other sources used by humans (bathing, washing and so on).
2. Not in places that are often flooded.
3. In places that are far from human dwellings, the distance used as a guideline is about 2 km from residential areas or about 15 km from the sea.

    The Environment Agency (DLH) of Sukabumi City, West Java is looking for a location for the construction of a new landfill or landfill. Later, landfills will be built with a better management system to accelerate decomposition so that waste does not occur. Head of DLH for Sukabumi City, Adil Budiman, said that the landfill development plan, the Cikundul Waste TPA (Final Disposal Site) of 10.7 hectares in Cipanengah Urban Village, Lembursitu District, is only enough to accommodate up to the next 2 years. Because currently there is only about 2 hectares of landfill left, while almost 100 tons of garbage per day. "We have planned to build
