AKARTA: Jakarta Sanitation Agency is to impose large fines on individuals caught littering and organizations and companies guilty of poor waste treatment.
Agency chief Eko Bharuna said that the administration was proposing to set fines of between Rp 50,000 and Rp 50 million (US$5,550).
“Fines for companies failing to treat their waste properly will start from Rp 2 million,” Eko said.
The Jakarta administration will submit a proposed trash management bylaw to the City Council next year. Currently the waste management issue is regulated under a bylaw on public order.
The planned bylaw would be based on Law No. 18/2008 on waste management.
