Five large type garbage trucks and one compactor type unit were deployed to clean up the pile of garbage on Jalan Perkampungan Industri Kecil (PIK), Penggilingan, Cakung, East Jakarta, Friday (11/7).

Cakung District's Head of Environmental Unit, Encep Suryana said his side deployed 12 personnel to transport the garbage. Five large trucks and one 10-ton compactor were then deployed to the Bantargebang landfill. Additionally, a shovel loader was also deployed to expedite transport.

"The activity is targeted for completion today ," he said.

According to him, the piles of garbage that have gone viral on social media are due to a lack of trucks. While there are usually six trucks on a typical day, this week there have been only four. Furthermore, many residents are dumping their garbage on the site.

"Ideally, we would move to a larger location. However, there's currently no adequate land. To prevent a recurrence of this situation, we're implementing a cart pool," he added.

Head Section of Economy and Development of Penggilingan Urban Village, Agung Eka Prasetiawan stated from public reports, there are individuals who seek profit by collecting money from waste dumpers from outside the area.

"Many residents have complained about the mounting garbage. Road access is also disrupted, and the garbage emits an unpleasant odor," he stated.
