South Jakarta Environment Agency head Syarifudin said the municipality produced an average 1,502 tons of waste every day, 1,306 tons of which was sent to the Bantar Gebang dumpsite.
“The rest of the waste, around 135 tons, can be cut each day thanks to the waste banks in South Jakarta,” Syarifudin said on Wednesday, as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
Currently, there are115 waste banks in South Jakarta. Syarifudin said he appreciated people who became more aware about the importance of a clean environment, including those developing waste bank as one of the solutions for waste management in the capital.
"We keep asking subdistricts to make more waste banks and asking people to utilize their waste through waste banks,” Syarifudin said. (hol)
