Denpasar to operate waste vacuum vehicle
March 13th, 2009
DENPASAR: The Denpasar Sanitation and Parks Agency has modified one of its garbage trucks to accommodate a vacuum cleaner, in a bid to streamline its operations.
City spokesman I Made Erwin Suryadarma said Tuesday that the modified vehicle would only be used on major thoroughfares such as Jl. Sudirman, Jl. Diponegoro and the roads circling Puputan Badung Square.
He added the city planned to purchase a specialized garbage and vacuuming vehicle that would cost taxpayers some Rp 800 million (US$66,708).
Denpasar, like many other major cities in Indonesia, suffers from a chronic waste disposal problem, with the blame spread evenly between residents for failing to properly dispose of waste, and the city administration for failing to galvanize proper waste disposal practices. - JP
