KUALA LANGAT, June 30 — KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) handed over 28 units of logistics assets to the Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) today as part of efforts to improve domestic waste collection services across 23 zones in the district.
Its managing director Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir said the assets were handed over in conjunction with the renewal of KDEBWM’s contract with MPKL, which has been extended until July 2032.
The assets comprise 25 units of 19-tonne compactors, two 7.5-tonne mini compactors, and a roll-on, roll-off (RoRo) bin that will be used for waste collection at Pasar Banting.
He said the assets will help MPKL enhance the efficiency of waste collection and minimise disruptions to existing operations, in line with KDEBWM’s sustainability agenda.
“The handover of these assets also signifies the continuation of the strategic partnership between KDEBWM and MPKL, which began in 2018 and will run until 2032.
“It also reflects MPKL’s confidence in KDEBWM’s credibility and capability to deliver efficient, systematic, and high-impact public services,” Ramli told the press.
Meanwhile, he said that KDEBWM is adopting smart technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based monitoring systems, to reduce costs and enable more holistic operational monitoring.
In terms of human capital development, KDEBWM is actively expanding technical training and professional certification programmes to produce more skilled local workers in the waste management sector.
“At the same time, community involvement will continue to be strengthened through recycling programmes, waste literacy initiatives and public awareness campaigns with MPKL,” Ramli said.
Earlier, the director, accompanied by MPKL President Mohd Hasry Nor Mohd, officiated the launch of the compactor trucks and KDEBWM’s new corporate image at the council’s headquarters.
