A pile of rubbish located opposite the east side of Juanda Station\nhas overflowed onto the edge of Jalan Ir Haji Juanda I, Sawah Besar,\nCentral Jakarta, on Friday (20\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
The rubbish pile is clearly visible from the ground floor area inside\nJuanda Station.<\/p>\n
From inside the station, a musty and sour smell emanating from the\nrubbish pile can be detected.<\/p>\n
When approached, the unpleasant aroma becomes even more evident.<\/p>\n
Based on observations by Kompas.com, the rubbish has piled up to a\nheight of 30 centimetres (cm).<\/p>\n
The majority of the rubbish consists of food scraps, fast-food\npackaging, beverage containers, snack wrappers, egg storage paper,\ninstant noodle wrappers, and large cartons of liquid milk.<\/p>\n
Dozens of large black plastic rubbish bags are also visible, piled up\nacross nearly all sides of the mound.<\/p>\n
Approximately three metres from the piled-up rubbish location,\nvarious drink shops, fast-food outlets, and cafes line up in the Raffles\nSquare shopping complex.<\/p>\n
One security officer at the shopping complex, Bejo (50), stated that\nthe rubbish pile has not been collected by the collection truck for a\nweek.<\/p>\n
He heard information that there are still issues at the Integrated\nWaste Disposal Site (TPST) Bantar Gebang in Bekasi.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can it pile up like this? Because rubbish from restaurants,\nsupermarkets, and cafes arrives every day. Normally it\u2019s collected\nimmediately, but not this time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, according to him, waste pickers are also sifting\nthrough the rubbish pile to sort plastic bottles and glass bottles.<\/p>\n
Bejo suspects that the activities of the waste pickers have also\ncontributed to the rubbish overflowing onto the roadside.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/week-without-collection-rubbish-piles-overflow-opposite-juanda-station-1774021876", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
