        "summary": "Residents near the Rawadas Temporary Waste Collection Point in East Jakarta are urging the government to increase the number of rubbish trucks due to persistent piling up of waste reaching heights of two to four metres, causing unpleasant odours and discomfort since before Eid al-Fitr. Local waste officer Manap highlighted the limited fleet as the primary obstacle, preventing efficient clearance and leading to daily complaints from the community. The issue is exacerbated by delays at the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site, underscoring the need for better waste management infrastructure to protect public health and living conditions.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Residents around the Temporary Waste Collection\nPoint (TPS) Rawadas, Pondok Kopi, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, are calling\non the government to increase the number of rubbish transport trucks.\n\u201cWe hope for at least two transport trucks, so that all the rubbish can\nbe taken away immediately and does not pile up for long,\u201d said local\nenvironmental waste officer Manap at TPS Rawadas, East Jakarta, on\nTuesday. This request arises from the ongoing rubbish accumulation\nreaching heights of around two to four metres. The rubbish buildup has\noccurred since before Eid and has not yet been handled maximally.\nResidents have complained about the unpleasant smell and the\nuncomfortable environmental conditions caused by the towering rubbish.\nManap said that residents\u2019 complaints arrive every day. He also\nmentioned that the limited transport fleet is the main obstacle in the\nprocess of clearing the rubbish piles. \u201cResidents complain because the\nrubbish is piling up. We also can\u2019t do much because the vehicles are\nlimited,\u201d said Manap. \u201cOnly one has been transported, the rest are still\nwaiting. We also don\u2019t know when the next one will arrive from the\ndepartment,\u201d Manap explained. Furthermore, he emphasised that one truck\nfleet is not enough to transport all the existing rubbish, especially\nwhen the volume increases as it is now. Therefore, residents hope for an\naddition of fleets so that transportation can be carried out more\nquickly and evenly. \u201cThe fleet must be increased. If not, it will keep\npiling up, it\u2019s a pity for the residents, they feel uncomfortable,\u201d\nManap stressed. In addition to disrupting comfort, rubbish piles left\nfor too long are also feared to have a negative impact on the health of\nnearby residents. Manap hopes that the request for additional trucks can\nreceive serious attention from the local government so that waste\nhandling at TPS Rawadas is more optimal and does not continue to cause\npublic complaints. \u201cToday it\u2019s piling up like this because no trucks\nhave docked at the TPS, so the rubbish has piled up to a height of two\nto four metres,\u201d said RW 02 Chairman of Pondok Kopi, Ninu Hadi Purwanto,\nin Jakarta, on Tuesday. He mentioned that rubbish from residents\ncontinues to pile up without being able to be transported immediately to\nthe Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST). In addition,\nsaid Hadi, the rubbish accumulation also occurs because transport\nactivities have been temporarily halted. Cleaning officers were forced\nto pile up rubbish at the TPS to keep services to residents running. The\nmain obstacle occurred at TPST Bantargebang. Several trucks that were\nalready loaded with rubbish could not immediately dispose of it, so they\nhad to return to the environmental agency without unloading. As a result\nof this situation, the volume of rubbish at TPS Rawadas continues to\nincrease. The height of the rubbish inside the TPS reaches three to four\nmetres, while on the roadside area it reaches around two metres.<\/p>",
