East Jakarta City Government Ensures Cleanliness in the Area During Eid
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot Jaktim) has assured that cleanliness in the area and environment will remain maintained during the Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri/2026 Lebaran celebrations.
“Cleanliness must remain maintained, especially in locations that become centres of community activity during Lebaran,” said East Jakarta Mayor Munjirin in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Munjirin has requested his subordinates to arrange and provide rubbish bins in various crowded centres to anticipate the increase in waste volume during Lebaran.
This step aims to keep the environment clean and pleasant amid high community activity.
Not only during the celebrations, attention is also given to waste handling after Takbiran night and Eid Prayers.
In addition, Munjirin has instructed the Environmental Office sub-department, district heads, and village heads to immediately carry out clean-ups so that the environment returns to being neat and comfortable.
“Efforts to maintain cleanliness are also supported by other sectors, such as road infrastructure improvements by the Road Infrastructure Sub-department as well as area security by joint apparatus to maintain order during Lebaran,” explained Munjirin.
Munjirin hopes that with collaboration from all parties and public awareness, East Jakarta’s cleanliness will remain maintained so that the Lebaran atmosphere runs comfortably and enjoyably.
“A clean environment will make the community more comfortable in celebrating the day of victory,” said Munjirin.
Previously, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government deployed 2,859 sanitation workers to ensure Jakarta remains clean during the Takbiran night period, Eid al-Fitr, up to the 2026 Lebaran holiday period.
“We are preparing around 70 sanitation workers in each sub-district. Overall, more than 2,859 personnel will be on duty in various parts of Jakarta, starting from Takbiran night, Eid al-Fitr Day, to the Lebaran holiday period,” said Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Office Asep Kuswanto in Jakarta on Friday (13/3).
He said the sanitation workers are on standby to anticipate increased community activity and potential spikes in waste volume at various points.
They are positioned at strategic locations, from temporary waste collection points (TPS), tourist areas, to public spaces expected to be crowded during Eid al-Fitr celebrations and the Lebaran holiday period.
In addition to deploying personnel, the Provincial Government is also operating various cleanliness support facilities, including 89 units of automatic road sweeper vehicles, 30 units of toilet buses, and 35 units of portable toilets placed in several locations.
