- For developing Asian countries, their municipalities are not able to manage
the growing amount of MSW, resulted in pollution and the existing of dump
site (illegal).
- Harian Metro has reported that the amount of solid waste produced by
people of this country is 17,000 tonnes per day in 2002 before rising to
19,000 tonnes in 2005. Bahan-bahanharian metro.jpg
- Sinar Harian has reported that people in the state of Johor produced 3,560
tonnes (3.5 million kg) of garbage each day and Johor has been one of the
states listed in generating the highest amount of different types of rubbish in
this country. Bahan-bahan3-5j-kg-sampah-setiap-hari-1.88220.htm
- Whereas, for the three selected study areas, factors like the improving of
living standard and the increasing number of people living in the Taman
Universiti, Pura Kencana, Evergreen Heights and surrounding areas certainly
cause the quantity of solid waste generated also increased.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
1.
Identify and evaluate the effectiveness of municipal solid waste
collection method implemented in the study areas.
2.
Evaluate the efficiency of workers conducting the collection of
solid waste in the study areas
3.
Review the effectiveness of solid waste management system
conducted by the concession company in the study areas through
the feedback from the public.
“Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said through the concession
agreements, the government hoped the effectiveness of solid waste collection services will improve in
terms of quality and regularity”.
