Small reduction in total waste due to fewer activities, says MBPP

AN INCREASE of 5% to 8% in disposable utensil use was recorded during the first three days of the scheduled water disruption, says Penang Island City Council (MBPP).

However, mayor Datuk A. Rajendran said the waste transfer station in Batu Maung recorded a 4% reduction in total waste per day, possibly due to fewer activities due to the water cut.
