SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
KUB-Berjaya Enviro Sdn Bhd
The Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill is developed, operated and
managed by KUB-Berjaya Enviro Sdn Bhd, a joint venture
company established between Berjaya Corporation Berhad and
KUB Malaysia Berhad.
The sanitary is premised on a long-term concession awarded
by the Government of Malaysia, under the supervision of the
Ministry of Housing and Local Government.
Landfill has traditionally been the predominant and principal
method of solid disposal in Malaysia. In this context, the Bukit
26 Berjaya Corporation Berhad (554790-X) Annual Report 2009
Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill at Batang Berjuntai, Selangor.
Tagar sanitary landfill serves as a benchmark being the premium
sanitary landfill in Malaysia, and in the region.
The promulgation of the Solid Waste Management and
Public Cleansing Act 2007 introduces stringent standards and
conditions for all solid waste management facilities by the
Government in an effort to streamline the industry. Bukit Tagar
sanitary landfill’s modern facilities and optimum operation
standard place it in good stead to ensure full compliance with
the Government’s requirements.
Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill achieved recognition by local and
overseas professional bodies when it attained the Gold Award of
Special Merit for environmental engineering by the Association
of Consulting Engineers Malaysia, the Engineering Excellence
Award by the Institute of Engineers Malaysia, and the ASEAN
Outstanding Engineering Achievement Project Award 2008 by
the ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organizations.
Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill also has the distinction of providing
training to officials from the Solid Waste and Public Cleansing
Management Corporation and Department of Environment on
the management and operation of a modern sanitary landfill.
Bukit Tagar sanitary landfill is now operating Phase One of the
landfill, after the Advance Phase reached full capacity in October
2007. Construction of Phase Two is also underway to ensure a
smooth transition from Phase One when it reaches capacity in
about 30 months.
The advent of the Solid Waste Management and Public Cleansing
Act 2007 has a positive impact on the Bukit Tagar sanitary
landfill, as closure of illegal dumpsites and strict operating
criteria would ensure all solid waste are disposed of and treated
in fully engineered sanitary landfills such as Bukit Tagar.
