        Trash that i mean is waste liquid or solid material that is not used anymore and the exhaust. Waste in Indonesia has contributed to many problems, we can find garbage strewn everywhere, even one of the online media mentioned that the level of environmental pollution due to waste management in Indonesia, like the cancer had entered stage IV, could only be resolved by amputation. this proves that this problem has become a very serious problem that should be handled quickly by certain parties, But do not forget, should be coupled with community concern for this issue is not prolonged.

Here are some of the problems that have been posed by the waste:

FLOOD

Some of the cities in Indonesia has become a subscription-flood every year. such as some areas in Jakarta. 60% -70% of flooding caused by rubbish, this is evident if the rains hit the city of Jakarta with the flood soon be over several areas, which are located adjacent to the famous time and again in Jakarta, such as time Ciliwung and others. this is nothing but rubbish caused by buildup which blocks the flow of water, so the water evaporates and the flooding of certain areas. Flooding has also caused many casualties.

SPREAD OF VARIOUS DISEASE
Potential health hazards posed by waste are diarrheal diseases, respiratory disorders in typhoid, cholera, skin diseases (fungal), a disease that can spread through the food chain, all the spread of the virus originating from the garbage that is not managed properly. And all these diseases is a dangerous disease that has caused many fatalities.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Management aims to convert waste into valuable material also makes it economical and does not harm the environment. Here are some ways we can do to manage waste.
disposal method

Can be done by:
Hoarding land, This method is the most popular method in the world. With this method someone makes a landfill with buried into the ground. character design from the hoarding of land which include a modern waste water collection methods using clay material or plastic coating.
Burning, conducted by individuals or by industry in large scale. This can be done for solid waste, locate and gas. Pengkremasian known as a practical way to dispose of some types of hazardous waste, for example, medical waste (biological waste). But lately become controversial because it raises the combustion air pollution.

Recycling Methods 
Physical reprocessing, This method is the most popular activities of recycling, namely collecting and reusing waste disposed, for example, collected the used bottles back for reuse. The collection can be made ​​from trash that has been separated from the beginning (the trash / junk vehicle specific), or from waste that has been mixed.
Biological treatment, organic waste materials, such as plant matter, food scraps or paper, can be processed using biological processes for compost, or known as pengkomposan.Hasilnya is compost that can be used as fertilizer and methane gas that can be used to generate electricity.
Energy recovery, recycling through the "heat treatment" varies from using it as fuel for cooking or heating up to use it to heat up boilers to produce steam and electricity from the turbine-generator
Avoidance and reduction methods, An important method of waste management is the prevention of waste substances are formed, or also known as "waste reduction". Methods of prevention include the reuse of used goods, repair of damaged goods, designing products that can be refilled or can be reused (such as cotton shopping bags to replace plastic bags), encouraging consumers to avoid using disposable items (eg tissue paper), and designing products that use fewer materials for the same function.

MY SUGGESTION TO GOVERNMENT
          In addressing the waste problem, the government must take an important role. A lot of good things that have been ordered by the government but does not run properly. So the government just need firmness in carrying out all laws that have been made ​​so that our common desire to realization well. I strongly suggest that the transport of waste in properly and evenly into force in Indonesia, especially Jakarta.
