Management of trash is very important in Indonesia. As one of the countries with big amount of trash from many sectors, proper management is necessary.

Firstly, it is important to provide healthy environment. When the trash is not managed well, it will create area where bacteria can live.

Moreover, it can cause some health issues, and breathing issues become one of them that can be caused by bed smell of the trash. Furthermore, bad management of trash can lead to flood. When it is not managed well, trash can block the flow of water.
