Regarding the waste disposal location, Arifin explained that the temporary waste disposal site in Sumur Batu is an asset of Perumda Pasar Jaya which is intended for market waste, not owned by the Water Resources (SDA) or Environmental Agency.

"The temporary waste disposal site is owned by Pasar Jaya," he said, Monday (11/2).

He added that local residents also dump their waste at the landfill because they don't have their own waste disposal site. This situation is a problem that needs to be addressed to prevent further waste accumulation.

Moreover, Arifin will cooperate with Perumda Pasar Jaya to improve the temporary disposal site facilities and find solutions to provide waste storage for local residents.

"This is a concern for us, so that residents do not dispose of their waste directly at the market's landfill. We will seek a solution to provide a landfill for residents," he admitted.
