MALUT - The Environment Agency (DLH) of Ternate City, North Maluku (Malut) will build a maggot center in each kelurahan to address the city's waste problems.

The Head of Pollution and Environmental Damage of the DLH Ternate City, Syarif Tjan, said that his party had projected that in each sub-district a maggot center would save up to 50 tons of organic waste per day.

Thus, he said, that amount of garbage was no longer dumped at the Takome Final Disposal Site (TPA) of Ternate City.

"With a beard, the waste production can be utilized and waste savings can occur, which was previously disposed of at the TPA every day," he said Monday, September 4, as reported by Antara.

On that occasion, said Syarif Tjan, DLH also continues to anticipate various waste and environmental pollution problems through socialization to business actors and local residents.

For this reason, DLH has collaborated with workshop entrepreneurs and stakeholders to socialize the dangers of environmental pollution, especially the disposal of B3 waste.

In fact, at this time his party is focused on socializing the dangers of B3 waste, in the form of used oils that are dumped through drainage.

"We continue to try to anticipate environmental damage because there are reports that drainage is found to have dumped used oil and flowed into the sea because it was carried away by water during the rainy season," he said.

Therefore, his party hopes that there will be a Perwali that can be used and DLH will provide assistance in anticipating environmental pollution
