JAKARTA - Central Jakarta Assistant for Economics and City Development (Asekbang), Bakwan Ferizan Ginting said, there was a reduction in the volume of waste by up to 228 tons of waste in Central Jakarta every month. This is because of the sorting of waste that residents do in every house.

From a total of about 7,842 houses in Central Jakarta, said Bakwan, they have done the sorting of waste properly. After sorting, scheduled transportation is also carried out by the Central Jakarta Environment Agency.

"The reduction in the volume of waste every month is 228 tons. It is also quite a large reduction in the volume of waste in Central Jakarta," said Bakwan Ferizan Ginting when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, February 16.

Bakwan said that of the total 394 RWs in Central Jakarta, there were 183 RWs whose residents participated in scheduled and scheduled waste sorting activities.

Residents separate organic and non-organic waste independently before being transported by officers.

"Every house that has participated in the activity is marked to make it easier for officers to transport it," he said.
