Industrial Waste

Garbage or any waste resulting from industry or trade ("by product") is not included in the scope of work carried out under the regulation of the Council. The Industrial Waste Management Pamphlet is available at the Environmental Management Department.

Garbage collection services in industrial and commercial areas only involve the collection of domestic waste. The results of business activities / industrial waste, cleaning / collection work are under the responsibility of the premises owner himself. The owner is required to appoint his own cleaning contractor to ensure that the industrial waste is disposed of in an approved place. All costs only involve the owner and the appointed contractor without involving the Council.

For hazardous, toxic waste and clinical waste, it must be disposed of at Kualiti Alam Bukit Nanas, Negeri Sembilan and managed by the company or premises involved.
