The local residents and road users are protesting trash piles at the disposal waste site (TPS) along Jalan Raya Pulo Gebang, Ujung Menteng Urban Village, Cakung, East Jakarta. This is because the janitors do not transport trash routinely.   

Trash is supposed to be transported every day, instead of left on the road

The TPS cannot accommodate trash piles, causing trash piling up on the road and spread rotten smell. Hence, citizen hopes East Jakarta Cleanliness Sub-Department to routinely transport trash from the TPS.

Jariman, (28), one of road users admitted that rotten smell comes out from trash piles is very sting and disturbing respiratory system. "Trash is supposed to be transported every day, instead of left on the road," he expressed, Wednesday (7/16).

He assessed that TPS capacity is not enough to accommodate trash anymore. "Besides trash transporting is late, its realization is also unoptimal," he explained.

Deputy Head of Jakarta Cleanliness Department, Isnawa Adji promised he will immediately follow up the report. "I'll check the location and also contact East Jakarta Cleanliness Sub-Department," he stated.

He urged, people can cast complaint via Jakarta Cleanliness Department's twitter: @kebersihanjkt. "All information will be responded," he expressed.
