Separating rubbish to avoid fine

Teoh Siew Ean, 39, with her husband Liew Chin Leong, 46, their daughter Liew Qin Huei, nine, and son Liew Wei Shend, six, recycling plastic items at the Sri Aman flats in Paya Terubong where they live, during the campaign to promote the segregation of household waste.

WITH seven weeks to go before Penangites face fines for dumping recyclable materials with their general garbage starting June 1, one more high-rise community has organised themselves to segregate waste.

The management committee of Sri Aman flats in Paya Terubong has provided residents with three 1,100-litre bins to dump their paper, plastic and metal waste.
