There are 4,100 orange troops that will clean the trash every day

Jakarta Environment Dept. Head, Isnawa Adji said his side instructs orange troops to stand by for 24 hours to clean water channel from trash during rainy season.

"There are 4,100 orange troops that will clean the trash every day. They will be worked under shift system," he mentioned, Monday (12/18).

He explained, water channel should always be cleaned from trash. Especially in rainy season because trash volume in water channel is increasing from 300 tons into 400 tons per day.

"It must be cleaned routinely because after rain it will become dirty again though we have clean it," he added.

According to him, most orange troops will be placed near floodgate and waste filter. That way, water stream is hoped to flow smoothly.
