JAKARTA - This is the condition of people's homes that are surrounded by a sea of garbage. This pile of garbage can be seen covering the houses of residents located in the Kali Baru area, Cilincing, North Jakarta. The unavailability of garbage disposal causes piles of garbage in settlements. This condition makes access in and out of settlements to be disturbed. So residents have to build bridges with improvised materials so that they can pass between piles of garbage. This garbage is known to have started piling up since last October 2021. Even though it looks like the residents are piling up, they still add to the pile of garbage because there are no temporary garbage dumps. This condition has been reported to the village office. Until now, the garbage is still piled up and increasing every day due to household waste.
