Trash pickers steal trash cans at Kalideres

JAKARTA: Trash pickers have stolen 35 garbage bins at Kalideres Terminal in West Jakarta, leading to mountains of trash piling up across the bus terminal.

"We're very upset with what they did, because it's happened so many times," said terminal head Hengki Sitorus, as quoted by beritajakarta.com.

He added the terminal had 100 garbage bins at the start of the year, but as of this week only had 50.

"The trash pickers steal them and sell them off," Hengki said.

He added he was now considering getting new bins made from used tires. - JP
