Banten to build Greater Jakarta dump<\/p>\n
Banten deputy governor Ratu Atut Chosiah announced over the
\nweekend that the province was prepared to lease some land to the
\nJava Waste Management Corporation (JWMC) to develop a waste
\ntreatment facility for Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and
\nBekasi.<\/p>\n
\"We are suggesting a location in Bojong Menteng, Jawilan
\nsubdistrict in Serang, capital of Banten. The residents there
\ncheered the idea when our assessment team discussed this matter
\nwith locals,\" she was quoted as saying by Antara.<\/p>\n
JWMC was searching for a 150-hectare site for a toxic waste
\ntreatment facility.<\/p>\n
She said that the administration was considering an integrated
\nproject with a plan proposed by compost producer PT Global
\nTeknologi to handle both organic waste from Banten and Jakarta
\nprovinces.<\/p>\n
\"We need a bigger dump and better waste treatment because
\nBanten can no longer rely on the Cilowong dump in Taktakan Serang
\nsubdistrict,\" she added.<\/p>\n
Head of Banten Development Supervision Agency, Harmin
\nLanjumin, added that the people produce around 600 tons of
\ngarbage per day and it was increasing. \"In the next seven years,
\nCilowong dump will no longer be sufficient ... we need another
\nstrategy to deal with our waste problems,\" he said. --JP<\/p>",
