RESIDENTS of Taman Bagan Lalang in Butterworth, Penang, will be spending the next two weeks completing a survey on their waste disposal habits.

Funded by the United Nations, the survey project saw forms being handed out to 350 households in the neighbourhood to study various factors, including frequency of disposal plus volume and types of waste generated.
