We have rented a piece of land (30ftx20ft) to build a waste segregation centre for Kampung Padang (Padang Village). There will also be an open food waste area for cows to feed in. Now, we need additional funding to complete the construction.
We have started regular household collection for the first cluster of homes since 24th April 2020 but some households are still adjusting to the system. We still notice food waste mixed with plastic sachet, or people still throwing trash to the sea. But we will continue to monitor and remind them. Hopefully, we will see a full compliance by the end of this month.
The first cluster of 30 homes were given different materials for segregation such as:
Total waste collection in Week 1:
Food waste: 286 kg
Can/Glass: 13.2 kg
Other trash: 20.8 kg
