The majority of Indonesian households do not manage their waste properly.

This is evident from the report Indonesia Health Survey 2023 in Figures released by the Ministry of Health.

According to the Ministry of Health, waste management is considered good if the waste is transported by household members/officers to a disposal site, buried in the ground, processed into compost, deposited at a waste bank, or recycled.

Meanwhile, waste management falls into the poor category if the waste is burned, disposed of in rivers/ditches/sea, or disposed of indiscriminately in other places.
