Workers of the sub-contractor sorting out food waste from a restaurant, causing waste water from the rotting food to drip on the back lane.

SUBANG JAYA: The overzealousness of Alam Flora sub-contractors in "recycling" has earned them the wrath of Subang Jaya (MPSJ) councillor Rajiv Rishyakaran.

Workers of the sub-contractors were caught in the act of sorting out waste from a restaurant in USJ3A, disregarding the waste water of rotting food which flowed onto neighbourhood roads in the process.

The workers were seen opening up bags containing food waste, emptying out the bags onto the back of the lorry in their search for items to be recycled.

All this while, waste water from the rotting food was dripping on the back lane, causing a stench in the surrounding area.


What was not recyclable was dumped onto the back of the lorry, minus the plastic bags used to contain them.

Rajiv, who was in the area recently for a function, expressed his disgust at the practice, adding that there had been numerous complaints on the matter.

"I will ensure that Subang Jaya Municipal Council takes stern action against the Alam Flora sub-contractors. Their job is to collect rubbish, not sort them out in open residential areas."

"The mess is all over the road. The stench is unbearable and there are houses nearby," he said.

Rajiv said he wanted a stop to such practices and will personally take the matter up with MPSJ and Alam Flora. -- SJEcho
