        "summary": "During Eid al-Fitr celebrations in Purwakarta, West Java, sanitation workers like Aris prioritised their duties over family time, sweeping streets and cleaning up rubbish from night prayers to post-prayer sites to maintain the town's cleanliness. Aris, a 43-year-old part-time PPPK employee with the Environmental Office, has been performing this role for nearly a decade, underscoring the dedication required in public service. The district deployed 100 workers and eight vehicles to cover key areas, highlighting local government efforts in waste management during festive periods.",
        "content": "<p>Family gatherings during Lebaran take a backseat for sanitation\nworkers in Purwakarta Regency, West Java. From the night of takbiran\nuntil after Eid prayers, they remain on the streets sweeping to ensure\nthe city\u2019s cleanliness.<\/p>\n<p>One of them is Aris (43), a sanitation officer with the Purwakarta\nRegency Environmental Office. He should have been with his family on\ntakbiran night, but his sense of responsibility towards his job takes\nprecedence to keep the city clean from various types of rubbish.<\/p>\n<p>Aris admits that after nearly 10 years of service as a sanitation\nworker, he is accustomed to cleaning the Purwakarta city centre with his\ncolleagues every takbiran night.<\/p>\n<p>Not just on takbiran night, during Lebaran as well, Aris stays on the\nroads to clean rubbish from several locations where Eid prayers were\nheld. Rubbish from mats like newspapers must also be cleared\nimmediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWork comes first because it is an obligation as an employee in the\nWaste Management Division,\u201d said Aris, a part-time PPPK employee at the\nPurwakarta Regency Environmental Office, in the early hours of Saturday\n(21\/3).<\/p>\n<p>Sanitation workers from the Waste Management Division combed areas\nstarting from in front of Bayu Asih Regional Hospital in Jalan Veteran,\nto the city centre, ending at Sindang Kasih, covering about three\nkilometres. They cleaned scattered rubbish or that collected by urban\nresidents.<\/p>\n<p>To support Purwakarta\u2019s cleanliness, the Purwakarta Regency\nEnvironmental Office deployed 100 sanitation workers, supported by seven\npick-up rubbish transport vehicles and one dump truck.<\/p>",
