Residents who deliver used cooking oil received cash according to the current rate and the weight of the used cooking oil collected.
IN conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri and International Zero Waste Day, Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) organised a Clean-Out programme to reduce waste from ending up at landfills.
MPAJ offered recycling and clothing collection services in residential areas, providing Ampang Jaya residents with a convenient disposal option.
The council reported that 827kg recyclable items such as plastic bottles, plastic waste, paper, cardboard and aluminium cans were collected alongside 827kg of used clothing at 10 selected locations.
Among these locations were Nadayu 62 Condominium Taman Melawati, Taman Bukit Mulia Bukit Antarabangsa, Taman Keramat Permai Hulu Kelang and Ampang Saujana Flats.
A total of 388.5kg of used cooking oil and 780.3kg of ewaste were also collected during the programme.
As a token of appreciation, cash rewards were given to individuals who contributed to the recycling efforts.
KDEB Waste Management (KDEB) also provided bulk waste collection services, through its 2024 Hari Raya Aidilfitri Spring Cleaning efforts, which aimed at preventing bulk waste from being dumped indiscriminately.
