New dump trucks, carts in Tangerang
TANGERANG: Tangerang Mayor M. Thamrin has handed over 13 rubbish trucks and 679 garbage carts to 13 district heads to deal with worsening garbage problems in the municipality.
"I hope the new trucks and carts will help district heads control garbage dumping in their respective areas," Thmarin said on Monday.
He said the additional transportation devices were expected to help take rubbish to the Rawa Kucing dump site.
Tangerang Sanitary Agency head Dadang Setiawan said that without the additional trucks and carts, only half of the city's 320 cubic meters of rubbish produced daily could be transported. -- JP
