"It's the first time trash in Polor that much and there are still many of them not being transported yet. May be it's because haven't been cleaned for about a year. I'm grateful that the boundary river cleaned," he said when he observed the location.
Kembangan Selatan Urban Village Head, Matrullah added in the transporting his side was only hampered with the road access which cannot be passed by heavy equipment.
"The narrow road cannot be passed by heavy equipment. Only 2 trucks can get in, so it must be transported back and forth, all trash then transported to Pluit, North Jakarta," he disclosed.
