"Of the 10 incinerators, only 3 of them are active. I also have requested the incinerator procurement in 2015 budget," told Thousands Islands Regent, Tri Djoko Sri Margianto, Friday (5/8). 

According to Margianto, all islands should have incinerator to resolve the waste problem. "If the Thousands Island Cleanliness Sub-Department is unable to solve the problem, we can replace its head," he asserted.

Moreover, he added, there is a large waste treatment in Tidung Island but it has not been operated until now due to information system problem.
