JAKARTA - The Mayor of West Jakarta Iin Mutmainnah has prepared a number of steps to handle the waste problem at the Jelambar Twin Warehouse, Grogol Petamburan, ranging from sorting from the source to enforcing rules for violators.

The steps include arranging transportation schedules with standby truck fleets, as well as increasing surveillance at the location through the installation of CCTV and the involvement of the three pillars to prevent indiscriminate waste disposal.

"First, the emphasis is on sorting waste from its source or households, then arranging the transportation schedule with standby or unhindered (damaged) truck fleets," said Iin when reviewing the Jelambar Twin Depot with members of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Kevin Wu on Sunday.

Then, said Iin, supervision at the location will be tightened by the procurement of CCTV by the monitoring team from the three pillars.

"For violators who throw garbage indiscriminately in the location, they will be dealt with firmly by being given sanctions," said Iin.

The Mayor asked for the commitment of the community, especially to change the behavior of throwing garbage so that the classic problem at the location can be permanently resolved.

"We want this to be the commitment of all of us. The point is that we have committed to reducing waste from its source, that's what we do. Starting from the smallest environment, each house, RT, RW and so on. So, behavioral change, we start together," he said.

Meanwhile, a member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Kevin Wu, conveyed his commitment in overseeing the realization of the plan to handle the Twin Depot problem.

"After this, we will immediately work together, each of us has authority. We will continue to monitor. I am also willing to work together until this is really realized," he said.
