Five illegal waste dumping sites identified in Kuala Langat
Its managing director Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir said the Kuala Langat district has become a hotspot for large-scale illegal dumping due to its proximity to the Tanjung Dua Belas landfill.
'Among the identified locations are Johan Setia, Sijangkang, Bukit Changgang, Telok Panglima Garang, Tanjung Dua Belas and land lots near the sea.
'We believe these activities are carried out by people from outside Kuala Langat.
'I suspect this is done by external parties, including factories, because all waste management tenders in this district are handled by KDEB Waste Management.
'We also constantly monitor the schedule and movement of every truck to ensure waste is disposed of in the correct places,' he told reporters at the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) headquarters here yesterday, Bernama reported.
KDEB Waste Management, in collaboration with MPKL, has tried to curb the problem by collecting commercial and institutional industrial waste over the past three years.
However, it continues to occur and proliferate each year.
In response, Ramli said the contract extension between KDEB Waste Management and MPKL until July 2032 will serve as a stepping stone for both parties to work together and plan new approaches to address the illegal dumping problem in Kuala Langat.
'As an initial step, KDEB Waste Management launched 25 units of 19-tonne compactor trucks, two 7.5-tonne mini compactors and one arm roll truck equipped with roll-on roll-off (RoRo) bins, with an allocation totalling RM12mil for waste collection in the district.
'The management of illegal waste falls outside KDEB Waste Management's scope, but if there's a request from the District and Land Office, I have no problem mobilising available assets to clean up the affected areas with the assistance of MPKL,' he said.
Earlier, Ramli, accompanied by MPKL president Datuk Amirul Azizan Abd Rahim, launched the compactor trucks and the new KDEB Waste Management image at the MPKL headquarters here.

KUALA LANGAT: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) has identified five locations, each spanning two to four hectares, being used as illegal dumping sites in several areas within the Kuala Langat district. Its managing director, Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir, said the district has become a hotspot for large-scale illegal dumping due to its proximity to the Tanjung Dua Belas landfill.
