Preventing unauthorised dumping

The revamped refuse room in PPR Desa Tun Razak is kept locked to prevent outsiders from throwing rubbish here.

OUT of sight, out of mind – little thought is given to waste once it is thrown down the rubbish chute at condominiums and high-rise apartments.

Overflowing dumpsters are a common sight at the refuse rooms (locally known as rumah sampah) of non-landed properties and commercial areas.
