We need more e-waste collection point.

People also need to be educated.. got a lot of people still throw phone and powerbank into dustbin.

here's a shady business idea about e-waste

in the front show people that process and recycle as e-waste
in the back dissemble the devices and sell to computer/mobile shop as repair parts, or even refurbish the device, this more lucrative

exactly.
I hope we get more and more awareness about e-waste, organic waste, plastic waste and paper waste...
uncle also try my best and do my best to get everything well recycle

What's the saying trash gold stuff

TRUST, ISO, and process

We are lacking of all these....

high cause no ppl doing it, will be very high

when many ppl do it, price will drop, like last time grab no driver, can make good money, today see if its still the same.

why shady? looks like a good business plan to me

Actually if government wanted to intro initiative to raise awareness this would be under which ministry purview? One thing I heard about recycling is that materials (plastic and cardboard/paper) need to be clean when collected (this is practiced by some countries i.e Germany & Japan) where the population rinses things out and even segregate their plastics (I:e bottle cap + ring and label are removed from bottle for recycling) but Malaysia never do also and some recycle bin sama macam tong sampah je, we actually recycle ke buang sampah ni?

The production plant I worked for also last time recycle carton boxes that are quite dirty liao (sometimes oily/bloody etc) also the recycle people paid decent money to collect them (for actual trash we had to pay them la) so really can recycle so dirty punya barang ka? Why recycling video I watch say need to be clean? 🤷

You gotta dispose of scheduled waste like batteries at a registered facility by law. https://eswis.doe.gov.my/facilityList.aspx

SW102 Waste of lead acid batteries in whole or crushed form
SW103 Waste of batteries containing cadmium and nickel or mercury or lithium

There is e waste collection counter at One Utama.

nobody cares lah
we just throw them like normal trash

is okay.....most important is all these will help to have a cleaner and better malaysia....this is how the business works....nothing will last forever...including your car

this is actually very bad practise...it not only hurt the land, it also hurt the people who are doing the cleaning....please be human and consider other too

Exactly.
Uncle encourage /ktard spread the awareness and start educating people around you

no need to wait government initiative.....this government only have initiative to do formula and religious...

because electronics are mainly silicon and metals....eventually they will burn/melt it to purify it

I hope they are wearing PPE...but i know they don't....kesian them

For my neighbourhood, we are encouraged to segregate our waste and sign up for KITARecycle program by SWM Environment. SWM will collect the waste on a weekly basis. Based on type of recyclable wastes, points will be awarded and with enough points you can redeem for cash.

well done! uncle give you a like!

I was surprised to find out this KITARecycle thing is not a nationwide thing. SWM only manages wastes in Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor.

lithium battery can take ahh ???..

if lithium battery put in the crusher machine,.. will explode one, once those lithium expose to oxygen,..

yes, unfortunately this is under local state government authority and it has a few license you need to apply...

the business model is very similar like TOW lorry...

there is already gangster station there and you need their permission to start a e-waste recycle business there...

didn't you use they use worker to dissemble the electronic products?

so they take lithium battery,.. like phone battery or 18650 ??..

Since a lot of e waste warrior here, name me nearest ewaste collection place. I got a bunch of phones and battery that I wanna get rid of.

why not you ask them? instead of me?

see...that's the problem...why you have a bunch of phones and battery???

you need to spend your time and money to do this and discard these e-junk in a right way....

this is the price that you need to pay

cos u open thread about it ???...

so whats their contact ???.. where they at ??..

Nokia 3310, Sony Ericsson, asus zen 3, etc.

DUROA (MRT) Electronic Waste Recycling Bins.
We have a bin to discard electronic (SW110) located at BEHIND the Dewan Serbaguna MBPJ Damansara Utama at Jalan SS21/12.

DOE created MyEwaste app, but it doesn't support my Android version. Is it still maintained?

MyEwaste is an application for managing electronic waste that has been developed by the Department of Environment. Its goal is to assist the public in providing information, sending their e-waste to the appropriate locations, and identifying the nearest collection centers. MyEwaste also serves as a platform to raise awareness among the public about the importance of managing e-waste in an environmentally responsible manner.

App last updated at 15 Sept 2021, seems like no more maintain.

Based on the Play Store policy, they want app developer to support latest 3 android version thus you no longer able to install, unless your phone OS version is same or older supported version that specified by app developer.

If you still want to install it, you can install through Aurora Store (recommended this due to fetching same source as Play Store) or APKMirror

For recycling map can try check on this as well, not perfect enough for category though

https://zerowastemalaysia.org/map/

Better use this DOE E-Waste link https://ewaste.doe.gov.my/index.php/about/l...-of-collectors/

Yes, this will better if look for e-waste only

I remembered seeing a video talking about very similar factory in Taiwan by Linus almost 6 years ago.

It's not shady, disassemble and harvest working components for resale is part of circular economy. Why melt the parts for metals when it is still usable? Unless customer specifically say the devices need to be destroyed for the sensitive data inside.

Malaysia recycling center are nothing more then big dirty garbage polluting dump, claw back whatever that have value and just burn or dump those no value garbage into the river

Hope they improve

creating more cash/value to the country.

Thats why

Reduce > reuse > recycle.

In that order. Recycle is the last option cos at least 70% end up in land fill. Very little of those stuff u can recycle. The cost to clean up, sperate and melt it to recycle usually higher than manufacturing from raw ingredient.
