Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is facing a severe waste management emergency as overflowing landfills threaten to cause avalanches of waste in surrounding areas. With a metropolitan population of 42 million, the Jabodetabek region generates 14,000 tons of waste daily, overwhelming the capacity of the eight available disposal sites. Authorities warn that nearly all landfills are at capacity, while limited land prevents expansion or the creation of new centers. <br /><br />#teleSUREnglish #Indonesia #Jakarta #WasteManagement #Environment #PublicHealth #Recycling <br />
