One of the temporary dump sites filled with giant heaps of rubbish collected from flood-hit areas in Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Prai.
ALMOST 10,000 tonnes of waste have been cleared from the streets since Penang was hit by the worst floods in 30 years.
State Local Government Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said more than 70% of affected areas in Seberang Prai and 96% on the island had been cleaned from Nov 5 to 12, adding that all the evacuation centres had since been closed down.
