The KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd will take over Selangor’s waste management system at its 12 local authorities, starting from January next year.

Selangor Local Government, Public Transport and New Village Development Committee chairman Ng Sze Han said thus far, the KDEBWM was responsible for waste management services in 11 local authorities except for the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA).

“Beginning January next year, KDEBWM will be fully responsible for the waste management system at 12 local authorities in the state,” he said when replying to a question from Mohd Fakhrulrazi Mohd Mokhtar (Amanah-Meru).

Mohd Fakhrulrazi wanted to know the status of KDEBWM services and the number of contracts awarded to sub-contractors in Selangor.

Commenting further, Ng said the waste management company, for now, has awarded 930 contracts to sub-contractors to manage the domestic waste collection and public cleansing activities in the state.
