Official Announcement: Proper and Safe Management of Electronic Waste (E-waste)

Please be informed that the management of electronic waste or e-waste requires special attention because it contains hazardous materials that can pollute the environment and harm health if not handled properly.

Here are guidelines on what should and should not be done:

REQUIRED:

✅ Take your e-waste to the MDTM Recycling Centre located at the Bergema Building, Jalan Klinik, 17500 Tanah Merah, Kelantan. Operating hours: Sunday to Thursday, 9.00 AM to 3.00 PM.

✅ Ensure e-waste is separated from regular household waste so that it can be processed safely and appropriately.

✅ Consider the actual need before purchasing new electronic equipment to reduce waste generation.

NOT TO BE DONE:

❌ Do not dispose of e-waste at unauthorized disposal sites or second-hand stores without permission.

❌ Do not place it in public trash bins and do not burn it as it will release toxic gases.

❌ Do not attempt to open or process e-waste yourself due to the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals.

E-waste is not just trash... it is a recyclable resource if handled properly. Let us work together to protect the environment by disposing of e-waste at legal and safe locations.

Thank you for your cooperation.
