Garbage fee collection

In the first ten months of this year, garbage fee collections
in West Jakarta reached only Rp 365 million (US$168,000), far
below the target of Rp 1.5 billion, an official said.

Zainal Husein, head of the mayoralty's sanitary office, told
the Antara news agency that the fee collection, 20 percent of
which goes to the City Revenue Office, reached only Rp 400
million last year as compared to the target of Rp 700 million.

He said garbage collection rates per month are Rp 500 each
family, Rp 6,500 for shops, and Rp 5,000 per cubic meter for
hotels, restaurants and factories.

The West Jakarta mayoralty currently operates 108 garbage
trucks. The City Sanitation Office provides 12 additional trucks
and private companies another 38 trucks, he said. (22)
