Monday, 16 January 2012 |
PUTRAJAYA: Putrajaya Corporation wants private households here to be
heavily penalised if they fail to recycle their waste.
Its president Tan Sri Samsudin Osman said the council had increased
efforts in motivating the public to recycle waste.
“In the future, we
are looking at imposing strict fines for those who do not recycle.
“This is in line
with the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing Act 2007 (Act 627),
which was enforced in September last year.
“We hope to
achieve our target of collecting 20% of recycled materials from the total
amount of solid waste in five years and become a model of a green and
sustainable city,” he said at the Putrajaya Recycling Day here yesterday.
The participation
of the public in recycling waste had increased to 22% last year from 10.4% in
the year 2010, he said.
“We collected some
4.2 tonnes of recyclable materials, which is almost 10% from the total amount
of garbage collected every day,” he added. |

RESIDENTS in areas like
Subang Jaya and Bandar Puteri Puchong reported that there has been no problems
in recent weeks after the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) took over the
