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

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.

nobody cares lah
we just throw them like normal trash

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

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? 🤷

India many people doing it

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.

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

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

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.

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
