KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territory Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Corporation (SWCorp) will intensify enforcement to stop the illegal dumping of construction waste in the city.
Its director, Ummi Kalthum Shuib, said the move followed the closure of the inert waste landfill in Sungai Kertas, Selangor, at the end of last year, in addition to the sharp increase in reports related to the activities.
She also said beginning Jan 1 this year, all construction waste must be disposed of at the Kuang Inert Waste Landfill in Rawang; Dengkil, Sepang or the Sungai Sabai Sanitary Landfill in Kalumpang in Selangor. "Those found guilty will be fined not less than RM10,000 and not exceeding RM100,000 or jailed for a term not less than six months and not exceeding five years or both,” she said.
