During a recent visit to a land fill site located at PJS 3, i noticed that recycling activity for construction waste was carried out by the workers. Construction materials such as wood, brick, sand, steel, tiles and etc were separated before other wastes are dumped into the lake. The privately owned lake has been used for waste disposal purpose with the view to fill it up for development. While the 3R approach is commendable, the process is rather slow and suspicious. After 7 years of operation, less than 15% of the total area of the lake has been filled. At the same time, monitoring on the type of waste dumped into the lake is not done properly, hence disposal of organic and kitchen waste which produce methane gas during fermentation process is not impossible. Perhaps thorough recycling process for construction waste will help in solving the problem.
