KAJANG (June 29): KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd (KDEBWB) will take over garbage collections in the areas under Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKJ) from July 1.

The state-owned company will perform waste collection and public cleaning services, gradually covering 59 areas, reported the Malay Mail.

“Domestic garbage collection management in the area will include the Smart Waste Solution concept, and feature the use of a new high-tech compactor truck made in Japan,” said Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.

The company was appointed as part of a seven-year pilot project.

He added that KDEBWB had spent RM23 million on 59 of these trucks – which should address complaints of reliability by operators – and RM50 million for public cleaning services in Kajang.

Ten compactor trucks have been handed over to the subcontractors involved in garbage collection while the remaining units are expected to be delivered soon.

KDEBWB had also contributed 100 leach bins that cost RM137,000 for MPKJ’s entire administrative area.
