Since June 2016, transported trash volume was reduced

" Since June 2016, transported trash volume was reduced . From 4 tons for 1 truck per day in 2015 became 2 tons for 1 truck per day," said West Jakarta Environment Sub-dept. Head, Edy Mulyanto, Monday (2/27).

Meanwhile in the early of 2017, trash volume that produced everyday is estimated will be 15 percent lower compared to June-December, 2016, even the number is around 1,300 tons.

According to him, this trash volume reduction is caused by trash banks that started to develop in several RWs.
