SINCE 2019, Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) has spent RM85mil on waste collection and public cleansing services, of which RM8.3mil was for rubbish disposal tipping fees.
While launching the new PJ Eco Recycling Plaza in Sungai Way Free Trade Industrial Zone, Petaling Jaya mayor Mohamad Azhan Md Amir said the cost was expected to increase as much as 35% due to the escalating quantity of wastes in the city.
