According to Adji, this year Jakarta Cleanliness Department has bought 149 new dump trucks and received 74 dump trucks from various parties.
“Don’t let there are many good dump trucks, but the bad ones are also a lot. Mr. Ahok instructed that the bad ones are going to be granted to surrounding administrations like Bekasi. So, bad fleets will be reduced and replaced with new ones,” he uttered.
