Solid waste disposal systems in metropolitan Jakarta as well as in Kramat Jati central wholesale market have been analyzed, and then three types of problem-solving approaches have been proposed to manage the issues of the systems in the long run; consensus-building, top-down and bottom-up. The total amount of the solid waste from 153 fresh produce markets in Jakarta was 1,034cubic m/day, which corresponds to approximately 4% of the gross volume of the solid waste in Jakarta. The central market disposed 199cubic m/day of the solid waste, which was not significantly affected by the total amount of incoming fresh produce to the market. Furthermore, consensus-building approaches would be inevitably required to place a political field that all stakeholders related to solid waste disposal projects might be involved in toward some agreements among all of them. In particular, the third party such as environmental NGOs would be expected to bridge the gaps between administrative officers and inhabitants who live in any sites the projects are planned. Long-term challenges of the consensus-building are how they can determine the alternative locations for the terminal of solid waste disposal, and how they can implement waste-reducing policies and activities both inside the market and in other urban areas.
