A layer of oil was found in the drainage system at the Bukit Minyak Industrial Area and this was traced to one of the scheduled waste recovery and recycling factories that processed used oil, she added. “We have issued an order to the factory to stop operations immediately and they have been ordered to clean up the pollutants in the drains,” she said.
“The storage of schedule waste such as oil residue and solvents in an open area will not only lead to pollution but has the potential to cause fires under our hot weather and spread to other premises,” she said.
Itu bukan recycling. Kami betul2 boleh recycle 💪💪💪
