JAKARTA - The Environment Agency (DLH) of Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara has ensured that waste management at the World Superbike (WSBK) event of the Pertamani Mandalika Circuit is complete and safe.

"The waste at the WSBK Mandalika event is being resolved and immediately taken to the Final Disposal Site (TPA)," said the Acting Head of the Central Lombok Environmental Service Masnun in Praya, Friday, November 26, quoted from Antara.

He said the organizers were committed to maintaining cleanliness during the race and after the race with the assistance of officers from the local Environmental Service.

"The waste is no longer a problem, it has been handled and is targeted to be completed this week," he said.

The production of waste in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) will certainly increase with the existence of the race event, because there is quite a lot of community mobilization.

He explained that the waste was immediately taken to the Pengngat Village Final Disposal Site, while the plastic waste was taken to the recycling site in Sengkol.

"The garbage is taken to the TPA and the recycling bin," he said.

The number of fleets that are lowered in waste management is 15 units consisting of five units of three-wheeled vehicles, five units of pickup cars, and two units of trucks.

"Meanwhile, there are 50 officers from the service and 200 from the organizers," he said.

The WSBK final which was held at the Mandalika Circuit ran safely and smoothly, where the Toprak racer managed to become world champion even though he finished second or behind his rival, Jonathan Rea, who managed to finish in first place in race 1 and race 2.
