Gianyar Officials Clear Plastic Waste in Singapadu Tengah

Gianyar — Police, village officials and Gianyar Regency Tourism Office personnel held a plastic-waste cleanup on Friday, Oct. 9, along the road from Banjar Kutri to Banjar Belaluan in Singapadu Tengah Village.

The cleanup began at 7 a.m. WITA (UTC+8) and was organized by Sukawati Sector Police, working with Singapadu Tengah Village Government and the Gianyar Regency Tourism Office. The tourism office’s role as the village’s designated partner added cross-agency support to efforts to maintain cleanliness in the village tourism area.

The operation focused on collecting plastic waste and other inorganic refuse. Organizers said the work was intended to reduce the volume of waste and limit blockages in water channels and roadside drains in residential areas, helping prevent flooding.

Why it matters to residents and visitors

For people living in or visiting Singapadu Tengah, the cleanup addresses an environmental problem that can affect both daily movement and the condition of a tourism area. Plastic waste in drains can obstruct water flow, while waste along roads can diminish the appearance and cleanliness of the village.

The activity also shows how local police, village authorities and tourism officials are sharing responsibility for public spaces. The route covered the area between Banjar Kutri and Banjar Belaluan, rather than a single isolated site, and included roads serving residential and village-tourism areas.

Sukawati Sector Police appealed to the public not to dispose of waste carelessly, particularly in drains and rivers. The report said the cleanup proceeded safely, orderly and smoothly. No further action or timetable was stated.
