JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Environmental Service officers collected 13 cubic meters or about 4.59 tons of waste from two demonstration locations on April 11, the National Monument Area (Monas) and the Parliament Building, Senayan, Central Jakarta.

"Most of it is a plastic waste", said Public Relations of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Service (DLH), Yogi Ikhwan in Jakarta, Tuesday, April 12, quoted from Antara.

The amount of garbage collected is equivalent to two garbage trucks. But the amount of trash was less than in other demonstrations.

He guessed because this time coincided with the month of Ramadan 1443 Hijri

When compared to the demonstration of the job creation law on Tuesday, April 13 last year, the amount of waste collected was 17.5 tons, or the equivalent of 47 cubic meters (m3).

"It also coincides with the fasting month, usually leftover rice boxes", he said.

He said that the handling of waste was carried out by hundreds of Orange troops from the Central Jakarta and South Jakarta Environmental Sub-Departments. The location is at the Horse Statue to Medan Merdeka Selatan Street in the Monas area and the DPR/MPR/DPD RI Building.

The cleaners combed several points at the two demonstration locations of several elements of the community. It was done after the crowd dispersed.

They brought bags to pick up trash and sweep the streets to keep the roads clear after the demonstrations.

Several garbage trucks were deployed including automatic sweeping vehicles.

The officers worked late into the night even though it was raining heavily in Jakarta on Monday, April 11 afternoon until late at night.
