North Jakarta Mayor, Husein Murad added the location was chosen because it is far from settlement thus out of reach.
"Since it is far from settlements and out of reach, it needs more concern. Thus today all communities components are involved in Gerebek Sampah," he stated.
Meanwhile, Environment and Forestry Ministry's Waste Management and B3 Director, Novrizal Tahar mentioned, we should concern waste and manage it well.
"We need to fight plastic waste. If we can't manage and recycle it, then it would be better to limit its usage," he stated.
