KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has saved about RM25,000 in a span of six months since the implementation of the organic waste processing programme at the Kuala Lumpur wholesale market.

According to DBKL’s Health and Environment Department (JKAS), the money saved was from the cost of disposal and tipping fees for 40 tonnes of vegetable waste over half a year at the wholesale market in Selayang.
