There are three machines malfunctioned. We had fixed them but damage again. Thus we had to pick up trash manually

Ahmad Suryanegara, (42), one of sluice gate keepers stated three automatic trash collector machines near the sluice are malfunctioned.

“There are three machines malfunctioned. We had fixed them but damage again. Thus we had to pick up trash manually,” he admitted, Monday (11/16).

He added the machine operates at 8-4 PM. Whereas, its existence is also needed at night due to floodwater from Bogor. That is why, trash continues to pile up.

Another worst thing is trash that piling up in the sluice has not been cleaned.

“This is because our truck has been sent to another place for transporting trash. I hope we could clean it tomorrow,” he hoped.
