A banner put up by MBDK near Jalan Cungah in Port Klang warning the public about illegal dumping.
Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) is putting up closed circuit television cameras (CCTVs) at 10 illegal dumping spots.
The installation is being done in phases, starting with Jalan Sijangkang Utama, Jalan Pelabuhan Utara, Jalan Bukit Kuda, Jalan Kebun Baru Perepat and Jalan Benteng.
The work is expected to be completed next month.
Its Environmental Services Department director Zaireezal Ahmad Zainuddin said that RM300,000 was allocated to rent 35 CCTVs.
“Currently, we have 16 CCTVs to survey dumping sites while 165 other CCTVs are for monitoring public safety and road traffic.”
Zaireezal said the city council was implementing two methods to stop illegal dumping.
“The first method is to clear the site and instal warning signs immediately.
“The second way is to clear the site and cordon off the area with tape, after which static monitoring will be done for up to two weeks.
“After that, a banner to warn people will be put up.”
He said those caught dumping rubbish indiscriminately face compounds of up to RM1,000.
