Do more to recycle

THE amount of rubbish discarded by Penangites on the island is expected to increase by more than double during the Hari Raya festive season.

Penang municipal councillor Ong Ah Teong said between 600 and 700 tonnes of rubbish were produced daily and lorries needed to make over 350 trips to transport the rubbish to the Batu Maung and Jelutong transfer stations and Pulau Burung landfill.
