Reported by Nurito | Translated by Cintya Meliza
A 20-square meter-wide Waste Disposal Site (TPS) stood atop Jalan Taruna Raya, RT 14/10, Pulogadung, East Jakarta, demolished due to standing on water channel.
The important is the water channel's flow is smooth and no more flood
Pulogadung Sub-District Head, Ahmad Haryadi stated the TPS had to be demolished as it hampered flow of the water channel thus it overflowed the area during rainy season.

"There is also TPS in RT 13/10. The distance is about 100 meters from RT 14/10. Residents can dispose waste there. Obviously, TPS in RT 14/10 must be closed down," he stated, Monday (10/19).
As a replacement, he continued, the sub-district side will provide one Mobile TPS. With the TPS, the disposal time of residents have to be scheduled.
Head of RT 14/10, Sugito claimed, does not mind if the TPS that had been built since 20 years, closed down and demolished, as long as the government gives the best solution so that residents will not dispose trash carelessly.
"The important is the water channel's flow is smooth and no more flood," he expressed.
