KEPRI - The Natuna Regency Government (Pemkab), Riau Islands (Kepri) made waste at the Paid Final Opening Site (TPA) which overflowed into the road due to the damaged heavy equipment used to clean.

"We will finish it immediately. Today we started cleaning it with heavy equipment," said Secretary of the Natuna Afriyudi Regency Environment Agency (DLH) when contacted, Tuesday, January 9, as reported by Antara.

Afriyudi said the amount of waste that entered the Paid TPA reached 14-15 tons per day.

"If it has not been tidied up for a week, it will certainly be scattered," he said.

He added that on Friday, January 12, his party will carry out Clean Friday activities at the Paid TPA. "In Friday's clean activities, we will tidy up the garbage flying around the TPA," he said.

Meanwhile, Sholeh, a resident of Natuna, said that scattered garbage disturbed residents who used the road, because the presence of garbage made the road slippery and smelled rotten.

Therefore, Sholeh hopes that the government will immediately deal with it so as not to cause other problems. "Hopefully it will be responded to soon, so as not to harm other parties," he said.

In addition, according to him, problems also occur in garbage transport vehicles, where garbage transported often flies to the highway. Such conditions also endanger road users who have the potential to cause accidents.

"We road users can only hope that garbage transport cars will prioritize the comfort of other motorists when transporting garbage. If necessary, a cover tarp or net is installed, so that plastic waste does not fall," said Sholeh.
