Cost Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Major Indonesian Cities

抄録

 This paper assessed the solid waste management (SWM) service cost estimate system for major Indonesian cities and develop standards for major SWM service costs, which consist of: collection, transfer and treatment, transportation, landfill management costs. This paper also presents the results of economic assessments that compare the options available for SWM in major Indonesian cities. The options compared are: collection and transport efficiency (CTE), communal waste treatment (CWT), and a centralized composting and recycling facility (CRF). An expenses-benefit calculation is used for the economic assessment. The results of our study show that composting at a centralized plant is the most economically feasible option under the current conditions prevailing in Indonesia.
