According to him, the piles of garbage that have gone viral on social media are due to a lack of trucks. While there are usually six trucks on a typical day, this week there have been only four. Furthermore, many residents are dumping their garbage on the site.

"Ideally, we would move to a larger location. However, there's currently no adequate land. To prevent a recurrence of this situation, we're implementing a cart pool," he added.

Head Section of Economy and Development of Penggilingan Urban Village, Agung Eka Prasetiawan stated from public reports, there are individuals who seek profit by collecting money from waste dumpers from outside the area.

"Many residents have complained about the mounting garbage. Road access is also disrupted, and the garbage emits an unpleasant odor," he stated.
