Marked drop in waste sent to landfills

Workers at the Tanjung Duabelas Sanitary Landfill in Kuala Langat wear safety equipment and are encouraged to reduce direct contact with landfill users such as lorry drivers.

LANDFILLS in Selangor saw a massive drop in waste collection since the movement control order (MCO) kicked in on March 18.

Six landfills in Selangor saw up to an 80% drop in the amount of waste received as most commercial areas, industrial zones and construction sites are closed for business.
