JAKARTA - Jakarta Environmental Service (DLH) sanitation officers managed to clean up a number of locations for the 2026 New Year's Eve celebration before dawn. In fact, before 05.00 WIB, various key points in the capital had returned to being clean and ready for use by the community for activities.
Head of the DKI Jakarta Environment Service, Asep Kuswanto, said that this year's New Year celebration presented its own challenges for sanitation officers. In addition to the weather factor in the form of light rain in several locations, the density of street vendors along the Sudirman-Thamrin area also made the cleaning process not possible to be carried out optimally with heavy equipment.
"Most of the garbage had to be cleaned manually using brooms and brooms because of the very dense field conditions," Asep said in a written statement, Thursday, January 1, 2026.
However, hundreds of Orange Force personnel still completed their duties from evening to early morning. Cleaning was carried out on major roads, sidewalks, city parks, tourist areas, and various other public facilities with the support of available sanitation fleets.
Asep also appreciated the role of the community, which was considered to have helped the smooth process of cleaning by maintaining order and disposing of garbage in its place during the celebration. According to him, efforts to maintain city cleanliness are not only the responsibility of officers alone.
"It takes a shared awareness. With cooperation between the government and residents, Jakarta is expected to remain clean and comfortable," he concluded.
