”Since April 1, only residual waste is permitted at TPA Suwung,” Koster stated. “On average, the number of trucks heading to the site has decreased by more than 50 percent. This represents extraordinary progress in our waste management efforts.” Koster reply
Soon today we will check and survey the new waste landfield says the Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Indonesia and TPA Suwung will be closed.
