The waste in this vacant lot is dominated by leaves and wood. The wood is disposed of in the TB Simatupang waste filter (SSTBS) in Tanjung Barat Urban Village, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta.
"Another waste is taken to the Bantar Gebang landfill, Bekasi," he added.
Monang admitted that his party could not yet confirm when the waste cleanup would be completed, because the limit of waste that had to be disposed of from the location was not yet known.
