PETALING Jaya residents who are preparing for Hari Raya Aidilfitri can dispose of bulk items like furniture, mattresses and electrical items for free.
Mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain said the service by Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) was to deter illegal dumping in the city.
“Collection of bulk waste will be done on a specific date for each location,” he said, adding that the public only needed to call the contractors to make the arrangements.
Mohd Azizi said the free service was in its third year and has been successful in helping people get rid of unwanted household items in a proper way.
Petaling Jaya Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Department director Lee Lih Shyan said they wanted to see less bulk items ending up in landfills.
