PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - The Mayor of Bandung, Muhammad Farhan, highlighted the large number of garbage collection points in a number of areas, especially in the Cicadas area (23/4/2025).

This condition is a serious concern for the Bandung City Government and it is hoped that it can be handled immediately and in stages.

"Garbage is still a problem, especially in Cicadas. We will handle it one by one," said Mayor Farhan.

According to Mayor Farhan, waste management is not only the task of the Bandung City Government, but also homework for regional officials, starting from sub-district heads, village heads, to RT and RW.

He asked the regional officials to ensure that the waste management system runs optimally in each region. One of them is by actively implementing the Kang Pisman (Reduce, Separate, Utilize) program and integrating it with the Buruan SAE program, which supports community-based environmental management.

"The hope is that there will be more waste-free areas, the number of gathering points will be reduced, and the potential for environmental violations such as littering can be reduced," said Mayor Farhan.

The Bandung City Government also continues to encourage community participation to help maintain environmental cleanliness as part of efforts to maintain the quality of life of city residents as a whole. (Bandung City Communication and Information Service/Fau)
