According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the national waste pile in 2021 will reach 26.39 tons. This number has decreased compared to 2020 when the total national waste is estimated to reach 33.16 tons.

The situation in Beras Basah Village is still not good, because the majority of people in Beras Basah Village still throw rubbish in the river. The lack of government attention in Beras Basah Village means that many people still dump rubbish at sea, because there is no infrastructure from the Beras Basah village government, such as rubbish transport cars which cannot enter the Ward XI area, the distance between the house and the TPS is quite far, etc
