Residents living in Kali Baru Urban Village are complaining garbage heaps on Jl Raya Cilincing, North Jakarta. Besides spreading rotten smell, the river is also unsightly.

I guess people deliberately throw garbage there

Based on Beritajakarta.com observations, garbage is seen along the street, precisely on the left side of the street from Cilincing-Tanjung Priok. Its existence is also a lot at five points of the street.

Hendra (55), a resident of RW 05, Kali Baru Urban Village said that garbage already normally transported at around 9 PM. "I guess people deliberately throw garbage there. Because, at around 10 AM, some janitors and dump truck always pick up garbage on such street," he told, Wednesday (7/27).

While North Jakarta Cleanliness Sub-dept, Slamet Riyadi asserted garbage transportation is always conducted routinely. But his sub-dept also had caught people threw garbage haphazardly.

"The street should be sterile from garbage. Hence, I'll coordinate with local headmen to contribute in maintaining the area clean," he disclosed.
