jpnn.com, JAKARTA – The ban on celebrating New Year 2021 in DKI Jakarta has an impact on the amount of waste collected on Thursday (12/31).
Acting Chief (Plt) Head of DKI Jakarta Environment Agency Syaripudin said that the garbage collected on New Year’s Eve weighs only 3.2 tons.
This quantity has drastically decreased compared to the acquisition of waste on New Year’s Eve 2020 which reached 125 tons.
“The amount of waste collected on the eve of the New Year’s Eve celebrations at DKI was 3.2 tons. This amount was drastically reduced from last year’s tonnage, which reached 125 tons. At 02:00 WIB, the capital city was clean again, “Syaripudin said in his statement on Friday (1/1) 1).
Syaripudin explained that the cause of the decrease in waste tonnage this New Year’s Eve was because there was no New Year celebration.
In addition, restrictions on the hours of operation of commercial actors in the capital city also cause the tonnage of waste to decrease dramatically.
“The steadfastness of the DKI provincial government and the discipline of Jakarta residents to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in preventing crowds also has an impact on the amount of waste,” Syaripudin said.
The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta is known to have banned the 2021 New Year celebrations.
