STORYLINE:
Clad in reflective vests and waving traffic control sticks, a crew on a main road in central Jakarta cheerfully waved to people as they cleared hidden hazards with iron bars and circle magnets tied to ropes.
The volunteer team covered half a kilometer (0.3 miles) and scooped up a haul of sharp metal including nails, threaded bolts and scraps of umbrella frames.
Jakarta’s main roads are notorious for the patches of sharp metal pieces that are believed to be spread by vandals intent on damaging the tires of cars and motorbikes, usually on main roads where traffic moves fast.
Siswanto, a West Jakarta resident, began collecting metal from the streets in 2010.
Inspired by his efforts and fueled by their own bad experiences with the pesky tire traps, more Jakarta road users joined in.
The effort soon grew into a community known as the Sapu Bersih, also known as the Clean Sweep or Saber community.
