JAKARTA - The Gambir District Environmental Satpel (LH) said the volume of waste that occurred after the demonstration in the Gambir area, Central Jakarta reached 6 cubic meters of waste per day.

"The volume waste is relatively dependent on the amount of the demonstration. If the demonstration is big, the average per day can be 6 cubic of garbage. It depends on the amount of the demonstrators," said Head of the LH Kasatpel, Gambir District, Mumuh Mulyana when confirmed by VOI, Friday, September 16.

The impact of the demonstration in the form of mineral water bottles and food packaging was swept away and collected by officers, later the waste will be sorted through the waste bank.

"Samp at the bottles of aqua and the rest of the food packaging, we collected all of them and disposed of them at the Tanah Abang 1 Depot. We will sort them there as organic and inorganic materials," he said.

The sorting of waste from the rest of the action in order to go through a waste bank can add economic value in itself.

"Of course, our inorganic materials will be reduced to the waste bank. The rest of the demonstrations will be disposed of at TPS Dipo Tanah Abang 1 and there we will sort it out. Because of this type of waste, the type can be recycled for waste and organic banks for compost (pupuk)," he said.

"So we're reusing the trash from this demo," Mumuh added.
