KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Government is taking over solid waste management, promising ratepayers better services at no extra charge.
“Problems like dirty garbage trucks plying the roads and irregular collection will be a thing of the past.
“I have full confidence that it (the takeover) will work though there are people who are sceptical about it,” said Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung.
The Federal Government would pay three concessionaires – Alam Flora (central zone), E-Idaman (northern zone) and Southern Waste (southern zone) – to do the job, he told The Star.

Move to spur the recycling rate from five to 50 per cent Shahrim Tamrin Tuesday, May 25th, 2010 11:31:00
PETALING JAYA: The government's decision to enforce the segregation of household waste in 2013 and the implementation of the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 has been described as long overdue by various non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
Urging the government to be serious in its action to implement this policy, Waste Management Association of Malaysia (WMAM) chairman Ho De Leong said: "We welcome the implementation of the Act, which apparently was delayed due to the economic downturn last year.
"What the public needs now is proper implementation by having the appropriate infrastructure in place quickly."

KUALA LUMPUR: The local authorities spent about RM1 billion a year to manage solid waste generated in the country, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said today. On average, they used about 30 to 80 per cent of their revenue on solid waste management, he added.
"Globally, the local authorities spend about 20 to 50 per cent of their revenue on solid waste," he said at the Waste Management Conference and Exhibition 2010 organised by the Environmental Management and Research Association of Malaysia (Ensearch) here.
