        "summary": "A massive pile of rubbish accumulated in front of the East Cakung SPPG in East Jakarta is being cleared using at least six trucks, far more than the usual single vehicle, due to heightened waste production during the Eid al-Fitr period and quota restrictions on transport to the Bantargebang landfill. Waste collectors, who rely on the site for their livelihoods, express concerns over potential relocation plans for the temporary disposal point, highlighting tensions between local needs and government infrastructure decisions. The issue is exacerbated by external residents dumping waste illegally to avoid fees, underscoring broader challenges in urban waste management and public service equity.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - A mountain of rubbish in front of the East Cakung SPPG on\nCakung-Cilincing Raya Street in East Jakarta began to be cleared today,\nSunday (5\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>On the right side, two orange waste transport trucks were parked. On\nthe left side, a power press truck was parked.<\/p>\n<p>Right next to the gradually diminishing rubbish pile, a wheel loader\nheavy vehicle was transferring the waste from the heap into the truck\ncontainers.<\/p>\n<p>Around the area, waste collection workers were arriving one after\nanother with their carts.<\/p>\n<p>According to a local waste collector, at least six rubbish trucks\nhave been transporting the waste to the Bantargebang TPST since\nmidday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been six since earlier; this is because there\u2019s a lot (of\nrubbish). Usually, it\u2019s just one for pressing,\u201d said a waste worker,\nAmri, when met at the location on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the rubbish at this TPS for RW 003 residents is not\nusually this much. According to him, the accumulation occurred due to\nseveral factors.<\/p>\n<p>First, the Eid al-Fitr moment caused residents to produce more waste.\nSecond, restrictions on waste transport quotas to the Bantargebang\nTPST.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring Eid, it\u2019s usually a lot. Eid lasts one day, but the pile-up\ncan last almost a month,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The waste collectors hope that this TPS is not relocated to build a\nnew SPPG. This is because they have relied on their livelihoods by\ncollecting waste from house to house for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the TPS was there first. If it\u2019s to be moved, where to? Even\nnow like this, which one does the government want to save? Because both\nare government-owned,\u201d said another waste collector, Firman.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, besides RW 003 residents, many outsiders still\nfrequently dump rubbish here.<\/p>\n<p>He suspects that other residents avoid paying cleanliness fees and\nthink this TPS is free.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to a black sedan that stopped on the roadside to drop off\na black plastic bag of rubbish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at that, nice car, rich person but dumping rubbish here,\u201d said\nFirman.<\/p>\n<p>That, according to him, also contributes to the large amount of\nrubbish there.<\/p>",
