During Large-scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) implementation, total waste volume in Jakarta has decreased by 7 percent from 1,600 tons into 1,480 tons.

"This data was recorded from the first time PSBB was implemented in Jakarta which from April 10, 2020. Its amount has decreased by 7 percent," stated M. Amin, Head of South Jakarta Environment (LH) Sub-agency, Tuesday (4/14).

According to him, the decline in waste volume in South Jakarta was triggered by many factors. One of them is because there are not many activities carried out by workers who usually work in Jakarta. This condition gives an impact to the amount of waste production in the region.

"Although reduced, we still deployed 800 janitors and 360 garbage trucks to collect the waste," he conveyed.
