Later on, Alam Flora through its subsidiary company Alam Flora Environmental Solutions Sdn Bhd (AFES) took over the operations at the transfer station and the number of reparations that needed to be done to restore the station was more than expected.
“The transfer station is a transit point for the waste from KL before it is sent to the sanitary landfill for the final disposal. We receive up to 2,700 tonnes of waste and the operations needed to maintain the station and manage the waste coming through is a 24-hours work,” AFES Head, Waste Management Facilities, Mohd Norazizi Bin Zakaria says.
To restore the facilities and normalise the transfer station back into operations, the challenge was then just repairing the building and cleaning the trucks, it was also making sure that the residents living close to the transfer station were no longer impacted by the pollution caused.
Despite the high volume of waste coming through daily, he says the operations can still cope with it. “Previously all waste coming from KL will be directly sent to the station but now we can reduce it thanks to the recovery and treatment plans in place that can treat recyclables and green waste,” he says.
With increasing recycling habits and more machinery to segregate and treat the waste accordingly, Norazizi says waste being sent to the landfills is reduced more and more.
