The Jakarta Sanitation Agency plans to spend Rp 900 billion (US$93.26 million) this year to improve the city’s trash management, a 12 percent increase from last year’s Rp 800 billion.
Agency chief Unu Nurdin said that apart from funding the routine spending, the money would be used to revamp old garbage trucks.
