Garbage, a word that conveys the instinct to find a solution. The problem of waste is not only a government matter, but the problem of waste has become the business of everyone, from family communities to state communities. There are many ways to solve this waste problem, either by processing the waste into various kinds of goods or products that can be reused until the waste is disposed of in the final waste collection point.
Mycity Lhokseumawe is located between two provincial capitals, namely the province of Aceh and the province of North Sumatra. Mycity’s also one of the cities that is overwhelmed in managing waste. A lot of garbage is scattered on the roadside and instead of being dumped in the trash that has been provided by the government, it’s instead dumped on the roadside by people who don’t realize the importance of cleaning the city. The lack of awareness of the people of city on this waste problem can be seen from several observations made and the photos we show.
The streets that can be seen from the picture show how people make garbage carelessly. In fact, throwing garbage like on the road really disturbs the beauty of the city and also causes an unpleasant odor when people pass through the place. Most of the people who throw garbage on the street are intellectuals or educated people, they realize that when they throw garbage on the street, the janitor will clean the garbage.
Garbage officers complain that people around here and people who pass through the main road to Lhokseumawe city throw garbage at will, garbage is thrown on the street instead of putting it in the garbage bin that has been provided, even though the garbage officer has cleaned it at dawn but it hasn't been 12 hours yet scattered on the road again. The awareness to maintain cleanliness is at its lowest pulse point.
The problem of garbage on the streets of my city may be given a solution on how to deal with people who litter on the side of the road. One solution is to provide CCTV to monitor people who litter. Then the person is published on social media so that it will be a useful lesson in the form that the person will be ashamed to be known by other people that he is littering. And also sent a recording evidence to his house to be subject to a fine according to the applicable rules. This can be done like traffic violations that now use electronic ticketing.
