TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The East Jakarta Hygiene Sub-Department Office is planning to build five integrated waste disposal sites (TPS) in five locations in East Jakarta. It is hoped able to reduce trash pile in such areas.
The five locations are Batu Ampar Urban Village (Kramatjati), Kebon Pala Urban Village (Makasar), Utan Kayu Selatan Urban Village (Matraman), Cipayung Sub-District and Ciracas Sub-District, as reported by Antara News.
"The five TPSs will apply a reduce, reuse and recycle (3R) system. By doing so, trash volume can be reduced," said Head of East Jakarta Health Sub-Department, Marnaik Siahaan.
Later on, according to Siahaan, the quota of trash that sent to the Bantargebang Landfill would only leave 70 percent.

Of the five TPS. he added, one of them was planned to be built at SMP 126 Street, RT 10/03 Batu Ampar Urban Village, with 5,793 square meters wide.
