Non-organic solid economic value (to be recycled) used as reclamation material. Economical recycling managed bank organization. Organic made compost or burned an incinerator still functioning. residue island then transported using garbage transport ship (specifically Seribu). For Jawa Islands, residual only collected at temporary dumping area (TPS) form landfill. Similarly, what happened Wakatobi piled up TPS. achieves 2R (reuse activities 7Rs (redesign, reduce, repair, refurbish, recycle, recover).
