Indonesia’s trash continues to accumulate. In 2016, the environment and forestry ministry announced that the country’s trash had reached 65 million tons, an increase of one million tons from the previous year.

In several provinces, there are already programs in place meant to reduce and process trash, run by local residents and local governments. In West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, locals partner up with the Komodo Integrated Cooperative to process inorganic trash. Meanwhile, residents of the Padangtegal village in Ubud, Bali, have built an education and campaign center to help reduce the amounts of trash.
