Help needed to locate illegal dump sites


THE discovery of another illegal dumping site of scheduled wastes in Selangor, as reported in “No leniency for illicit dumping” (The Star, July 16), is yet another stark reminder to the public to be ever vigilant of such activity in areas close to their residential premises.

If they come upon such sites, they should immediately alert the authorities concerned so that prompt action can be taken against the culprits, who could be construction and landscaping contractors, factory owners, waste removers, scrapyard operators or anybody looking for a quick, easy and cheap way to get rid of their waste.
