Household Waste Composting

An agreement between MBPJ, DANIDA-SWMC and CETDEM for Community Initiative on Household Waste Composting at PJ was signed on 28.5.2008. The 18 month project is to recruit 50 families in PJ, to provide them the bins, enzyme and material, to teach and facilitate them the techniques of doing compost in their house compound. This project aims at reducing waste at source, and hence to reduce waste collection and disposal cost as well financial burden of MBPJ. If successful, 3R program implementation and solid waste management in Malaysia and in particularly PJ will be getting a moral boost. So far, 3R has not met its desire objectives yet simply because of the approaches. Neither direct economic incentives nor penalties were provided for and this has not encouraged Malaysian to learn and practice 3R in full force. LA 21 PJ always believes on building the capacity of the grassroot and get them to do right for the first time. By educating and monitoring their progress in composting over a long period, it is LA 21 PJ in practice. Please sign up to help you and to help the environment.
