BADUNG - The Bali Provincial Government (Pemprov) has started to prepare a beach cleanliness task force (satgas) throughout Bali, except in Bangli Regency.
"This afternoon the meeting is not only Badung but all of Bali, except Bangli, they all have beaches, so that everyone forms a task force in the district/city and is assigned to the beach points that receive a lot of garbage," said Bali Governor Wayan Koster on the sidelines of the Kedonganan Beach garbage clean-up action, Badung, Friday, February 6.c
"I said that the beach cleanliness task force would be placed on standby at the beach every day. This task force was formed to ensure that any garbage brought in by the sea was immediately cleaned and disposed of without waiting for a long time.
This, he continued, also answered President Prabowo's direction in the Central and Regional Government Rakornas which highlighted the accumulation of garbage on the beach which is a tourism area.
"So every hour someone has to be on duty here, so far in the morning and afternoon the garbage is taken away, it will no longer be like that, the officers are here, the trucks are here, the heavy equipment is here so that when the garbage comes it is immediately taken, collected, taken to the landfill," said Koster.
In the meeting to prepare the formation of the beach cleanliness task force, the Bali Provincial Government will map the personnel and fleet needs of each beach.
"For example, from Kedonganan Beach to Seminyak, how many people are needed depends on the length, the longer the more, then later there will be garbage lifting equipment and trucks," said Koster.
For the waste collected by the task force, he said, it will be disposed of at the Suwungatas landfill with the consent of the Minister of Environment (LH), where the Bali Provincial Government is allowed to dispose of beach waste or specific waste until the handling of the shipment waste is completed.
The Regent of Badung I Wayan Adi Arnawa added that as one of the districts highlighted for the proliferation of garbage on the beach, he admitted that he was ready to carry out the beach cleanliness task force.
"Until now they have had a special team that cleans the beach, but seeing the condition of the waste sent, which has recently increased in volume, he agreed that the Bali Provincial Government would form a special task force.
"We always clean the beach every day, but it seems that we need to do it in turns every day, we will also add facilities including every Friday we direct the beach clean-up involving many elements," he said.
