SOME 7,000 premises in Kuala Lumpur were inspected by Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) for compliance with separation at source for solid waste this year, but no compounds were issued.

SWCorp Federal Territories director Mohd Zahir Shari reminded the people to adopt and continue with the practice, especially in states bound by the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672) where it is an offence not to separate solid waste.
