“They dont do that’

Thats why i said you should make a report via the apps? Why being so hostile? If someone correct your assumption that they should not enter individual house lane (which is wrong) just accepted in good grace and make a report via the apps. I compelled to correct you so that other readers in this post will not simply trust your word and ignore the wrong practise by the bulk waste lorry drivers.

I worked with MPKJ and KDEB last time to ensure the bulk items lorry to enter our housing lanes and pickup the bulk waste. What we found out is that these contractors did not do their work to pickup infront of ppl houses but instead divert their time to commercial shop houses area as it contain more valuable recyclable stuff like boxes while housing lanes contain more of garden waste and smaller boxes. They just simply roam the housing area main road just to snap picture of our housing area in their check list. This is wrong!

As Resident Association President I managed to get KDEB to admit their mistake and reprimand their drivers. As of now my housing lanes and common areas always got bulk waste roro lorry pickup infront of our houses because they knw we will always report!

So please please .. make a report via the apps ya .. dont simply assume things

Yes.. my house is not by the main road, it's more like small diverting jalan kampung. I remember the first time I file for complaint, the person in charge was like "but we already sent the bulk waste truck every wednesday around the area!".

Good news... i just realized I already have the app installed. Made the complaint and it's now accepted status.

Look for tzu chi recycling centers, they have many around. The closest one to my house is open everyday (9am-2pm iinm) and has 'window bins' for you to put in when they are closed

Other than this, there are many other recycling centers for all sorts of timings

Little update. So in anticipation of the garbage finally gets collected, I took out other garbage around the house: 2 big plastic bag full with plastic bottles, 1 medium bag with glasses. I put them beside the garbage that has been out for 3 weeks.

Funny thing happened, KDEB collects all the stuff except that one bag with boxes.

Then in response to my complaint, the PIC called, they say they have 2 lorries: domestic and bulk waste, and they could swear that both lorries passed in front of my house according to schedule. But since the garbage is still out there, that means either they missed it or they actually didnt pass in my neighborhood for weeks.

Now in the app they show me proof they finally collected it, so its all good i think?

for bulk wastes it depends i guess.

not everything is collected, i've been trying to dispose old outdoor water filter twice, but they did not bother. checked with management and apparently need to pay a bit for them to dispose it.

The truck workers usually sort out the Garbage accordingly. All those Black Bags on top of the trucks are their sorted stuff.
Pretty sure plastics,iron etc are all taken and sorted. Those don't make it to the landfill.

Hey man, the situation with the garbage truck is getting annoying. Every week I have to personally message the person in charge to come pick up the neighborhood oversized trash or else all the cardboard boxes will become wet mush.

And even after I messaged them, THE LORRY NEVER ACTUALLY COME on schedule. Like what the hell. Person in charge said sorry, missed the road etc. but this happen every week?? That's just an excuse.

I am looking for a permanent solution for this.

Last time me and resident association visit the KDEB office to show our displeasure. Seems working

MBSA got separate truck to collect recyclables....
if u no live under MBSA, then depend on your local council

KDEB only collect general domestic waste.
Their workers will take high value recyclables to sell on their own, but low value ones like cardboard and glass, sometimes wont take.

if u wanna sneak stuff in though... usually, stuff like Styrofoam, i cut into small pieces and dispose with my regular trash slowly....
so, they wont reject it for being straight up styrofoam

I bothered the person in charge for 3 weeks straight when the lorry which is supposed to do weekly round doesn't come by.

Seems like I bothered them enough, now I don't have to call them anymore, every Wednesday they do their job as agreed.

Ya, sometimes just gotta call.....
next time, kacau local majlis hotline also. they should have them plastered all around your neighbourhood (when come fix what, do what cleaning etc)

my neighbourhood also, had sewerage overflow, had fallen tree..... weeks on weeks no one settle....
one call later, they fix within 48 hours....

most of the time, residents bangang, ingat Majlis 24hour patrol, then bingung no one come to fix....
