TPA Temesi Gianyar: Di Sela-Sela Kesibukanmu, TPA Juga Bisa Jadi Destinasi Wisata Yang Edukatif dan Sadar Lingkungan

Bali terkenal dengan berbagai tempat wisata yang menawarkan ciri khas masing-masing yang tentunya menarik minat wisatawan untuk datang ke Bali, lagi, lagi, dan lagi. Seolah tidak ada habisnya tempat wisata yang harus dikunjungi dan dinikmati. Tapi, pernahkah berkunjung ke tempat yang satu ini?  Sudah pernah jalan-jalan ke TPA? Kalo belum, ayo sejenak saya ceritakan pengalaman jalan-jalan saya ke TPA Temesi di Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali.



Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir (TPA) merupakan tempat mengumpulkan sampah yang tidak bisa diolah lagi dan berasal dari berbagai sumber, baik domestik ataupun non domestik. Sampah domestik (rumah tangga) dan non domestik (fasilitas umum) terdiri dari berbagai komponen yang diantaranya masih dapat diolah kembali. Jenis yang mudah dikomposkan, seperti sisa makanan, sampah kebun dan kulit buah dapat diolah menjadi bahan kompos dan biogas. Jenis sampah tak mudah dikomposkan, seperti kertas, berbagai jenis plastik, besi dan logam lainnya dapat didaur ulang menjadi produk baru atau bahan baku produk. Nah, bagaimana jika tidak termasuk kedua golongan sampah tadi? Kumpulan sampah yang tidak dapat dimanfaatkan lagi, atau dikenal dengan residu, itu lah yang akan masuk ke TPA.
