BANJARMASIN - The City Government (Pemkot) of Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan Province (Kalsel) made a waste cleaning movement in as many as 100 thousand under houses by 2023. It is hoped that this movement will educate the public to live cleanly. The Mayor of Banjarmasin, Ibnu Sina, opened the soft opening of the activity with the theme Germas 100,000 B'Bawet on the Siring Sungai Martapura stage in front of the Banjarmasin City Hall. "This is a spectacular movement for efforts to clean our city in 2023," said Ibnu Sina, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 24.
Moreover, he continued, all elements of society are involved, up to thousands of people will move simultaneously for the success of this activity. "So don't move for one month, but throughout the year," he said asking the Banjarmasin City Regional Environment Service to be the coordinator of the activity. Ibnu Sina also stated that the movement of the community (germas) is just under the barahhan (home class) babarasih (cleaning) of garbage with a target of 100,000 under the house, which almost includes more than 50 percent of clean water customers. "Because PT Air Drinking Airport subscribers are 180 thousand, it's already more than 50 percent," he said. In order to support the maximum of this movement, the mayor officially handed over five units of garbage transport cars for five sub-districts in his city. Head of the Banjarmasin City Environment Service, Alive Yoesfah Love, said that this movement started today by picking up trash under the homes guided by each kelurahan. "We also involve the environmental community," he said.
According to him, the target of the waste collected under the house is plastic waste. "We have to clean this plastic waste, we have to clean it up, we have to clean it up under the house for that," he said. Especially, he said, housing on the banks of the river, so that rivers in this city can be clean.
Because, he said, the production of waste in this city is around 700 tons per day, some of which are dumped under houses, because buildings in this city must construct the stage, because they are in swampland.
The Head of the Banjarmasin City DLH Waste Management Division, Marzuki, added that an estimate of one resident's house, the garbage under his house was at least two sacks. "That was our estimate during the flood, where a lot of plastic waste came out of under the house, on average two sacks per house," he said.
