Landed homeowners in Penang must separate their waste from Jan 1, or else


Filepic of a waste collection truck making its round in picking up separated recyclable waste from a residential area in SS20, Petaling Jaya.

THE waste separation at source policy will now be extended to residential property owners in Penang and those who fail to do so will be slapped with a compound from next year onwards. 

Penang Housing, Town, Country Planning and Local Government Committee chairman Jagdeep Singh Deo said this was to ensure residents staying in landed properties separate the recyclable and non-recyclable items.
