Be afraid, be very afraid of trash

There is one immediate activity to be taken before medium- and long-terms steps can begin.

Start punishing people and households who/which: 1) Throw their trash into public areas. 2) don't have any tukang sampah (trash collector) coming to their place regularly. 3) Burn trash (viciously at night).

People need to be afraid about the punishment in order to stop this disgusting behavior.
