Food waste on two days, recyclable items on the third day in six states
PUTRAJAYA: Householders in six states must prepare to separate their household rubbish beginning in September.
Solid Waste and Solid Cleansing Management Corp chief executive Ab Rahim Md Noor said every family member should know how to do it and dispose of household waste properly.
“Waste isolation will involve the disposal of food waste for the first two days of collection every week and the third day collection is for recyclable garbage,” he told reporters today.
“A company has been appointed to collect garbage in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Pahang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Kedah and Perlis. They will also observe and note down household who flout the rule,” he said.
He said notices would be issued to those who flouted the rule starting in September and a maximum compound fine of RM1,000 would be imposed on errant households by 2016.
