Separate waste or face fines, FT folk told

PETALING JAYA: Residents in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya must start separating waste into recyclables and non-recyclables or risk facing a compound.

Federal Territories Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Corporation (SWCorp) director Ummi Kalthum Shuib said the enforcement, in line with the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672) which makes it mandatory for waste segregation at source, has started this year.
