Kuantan Garbage Collection

I do not really know how Kuantan (Malaysia) Town manages its household garbage collection.

I would assume that they have privatised their garbage collection, like all Towns in Malaysia.

In Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) household garbage collectors come to each individual house and collect garbage from the bin or garbage/rubbish compartment. And in Condominiums over there or Apartments they have central household and other garbage gathering points and the garbage collectors go to these collection points to collect the household garbage.

In Kuantan, as I live in an Apartment, we usually place our household garbage in specially provided bins and these bins are emptied by the hired Cleaners to a centrally located point and the garbage collector’s lorry goes there and collects the garbage.

For household garbage in Kuantan , I do not see these rubbish collectors go to individual house. Probably not, that I have seen, they may of course do but I do not know. The evidence however indicates that garbage are not efficiently collected. These two photoes show how inefficient rubbish/garbage collection is in Kuantan Town.



If garbage/rubbish collection is that efficient, there is not need for the local folks to place their garbage such as shown those photoes. And I know, periodically the garbage/rubbish collectors come to collect the garbage/rubbish as shown.

But I doubt if the rubbish collection in Kuantan Town is that efficient.
