BADUNG - Garbage stranded along the beach in the Badung Regency, Bali, is still happening.

As can be seen along Kuta Beach, Bali, piles of garbage, ranging from wooden sticks and twigs to plastic waste, were still found on Thursday, December 30 afternoon.

The Head of the Sanitation and Hazardous and Toxic Materials Management Division of the Environmental and Hygiene Service (DLHK) of Badung Regency, Bali, Putu Suantara, said that the volume of waste on the beaches of the Badung area, Bali, for now is indeed less than before.

"For beach waste, as of today, not so much is stranded. We are still carrying out routine handling at the beach and we are still doing it along the coastal zone in Badung Regency from Jimbaran to Pererenan," said Suantara.

In addition to focusing on handling waste on the beach, his party also focuses on handling stopover waste at a number of beaches in the Badung Regency area.

"That's what we're working on and some of the stopovers have already run out on Petitenget Beach," he added.

Since cleaning up the shipments from November 15, 2021 to the peak of the large volume of waste in early December 2021, there have been 1,150 tons of garbage recorded along the coast in Badung.

"Today's total is 1,150 tons (from the beginning until now). Now it's a bit less, it all depends on weather factors and (sea) currents. So, we really can't predict, sometimes this afternoon it's still normal, meaning that the trash is thin suddenly tonight some are stranded," he said.
