JAKARTA - Waste that accumulates in the waste treatment of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Plant Rorotan often emits unpleasant odors. In addition to polluting the air, piles of garbage also have a negative impact on the health of local residents.
"My residential area is about 800 meters from the location and feels the impact. In other housing, I also feel the same way," said the head of RT 18 Cakung Timur, Andre Maryono.
He said that although RDF was no longer operating, the smell was still felt in his settlement.
Andre invited DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung to come and be present in this housing area so that he could directly feel the impact of the 2,500 tonne waste processing site.
"Don't just come to RDF, but come here and if necessary, do an inspection," he said.
Residents are still waiting for an answer from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) regarding the continuation of the issue.
His party has also written and requested a direct audience with the governor to convey the truth.
"We are worried that the governor will only get good reports so far, even though conditions have deteriorated," he said.
Andre asked that the RDF be closed because even though they had conducted a series of trials, the results had a bad impact on the residents.
Andre further said that RDF managers promised to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and also make improvements (improves) such as the high tide, repair of transportation equipment and others.
"But the fact is they violated the SOP they made," he said.
