From Garbage, Eneng Earns Millions of Rupiah and Life Gets Cooler
The Kang Pisman program (reduce, separate and use waste) launched by the Bandung City Government (Pemkot) is increasingly being felt by residents.
One of them is Eneng Sri Fitri. Thanks to his habit of carrying out Kang Pisman, Eneng now has savings at the Main Garbage Bank RW 12 Pasirlayu. In fact, he can withdraw his savings of up to IDR 4 million.
This could happen when one year ago Eneng started neatly sorting waste to be saved in the Garbage bank.
"Today I took Rp. 4 million from the garbage. Thank God this movement is useful," he said.
But the thing that is quite proud of him is the change in lifestyle in his environment. One of them, his son now has a great sense of responsibility to maintain cleanliness.
"My child is eating, the wrapper is held and not immediately thrown away. I will throw it away when there is a trash can," he said.
"The saving movement in the garbage bank aside from getting money, the social impact for children is very good," added Eneng.
It should be noted that saving waste in the Main Garbage Bank can also be used as gold bars. To do this, customers only need to have a minimum waste savings balance of IDR 43,000. With this amount, customers can exchange it for 0.025 grams of gold.
So what are you waiting for, let's sort the trash and save in the garbage bank in each area. (yan)**
