Gresik, Wednesday, 30January 2025 — A modest community-run waste facility in Wringinanom, Gresik, is quietly challenging the dominant, subsidy-heavy approach to urban waste management in East Java.“I am genuinely impressed that the Wringinanom waste facility can fully cover its own operational costs,” said Delima Prischa Cahya Purnama of Surabaya’s Development Planning Agency (Bappeko). “In Surabaya, neighbourhood waste facilities are entirely funded by the city budget.”

Her remarks came during the opening day of the Zero Waste Academy, officially launched by ECOTON Foundation in collaboration with the Zero Waste Indonesia Alliance (AZWI) and the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA). The three-day programme is designed as an intensive learning space on source-based waste management and methane emission reduction.

 인도네시아 동자바주 그레식 – 2025년 1월 28일 — 쓰레기 관리가 종종 재정적으로 한계에 부딪히는 지역에서, 그레식의 우링이나놈(Wringinanom) 마을 주민들은 지역 공동체 주도의 해결책이 효과적으로 작동할 수 있음을 증명하고 있다.

우링이나놈의 지역 쓰레기 처리 시설은 가구 참여와 서비스 요금을 통해 운영비를 자체적으로 충당하고 있으며, 이러한 모델은 정책 결정자들의 주목을 받고 있다.

Gresik, East Java – 28 January 2025 — As European cities grapple with rising waste costs and methane emissions, a small village in eastern Indonesia is demonstrating a low-cost, community-led alternative.

In Wringinanom, Gresik, a neighbourhood waste facility operates without ongoing government subsidies — a rarity in Indonesia’s urban waste system. “I am impressed that this facility can fully finance its own operations,” said Delima Prischa Cahya Purnama from Surabaya’s Development Planning Agency. “In Surabaya, similar facilities depend entirely on municipal budgets.”
