observatio
ns

Interview
s with the
LAs

Vehicles for waste collection from MBJB, MPJBT, MPK and MDP
localities are owned and maintained by SWMSB and other
contractors.
The vehicles used for collection are a combination of
compactors, roll on/roll off and open lorries.
Typical collection crew consists of one driver and about three or
four loaders. SWMSB compactors have an average capacity of 8
tonnes while the other private contractors typically use 5 to 8
tonne lorries.
Most of the vehicles were previously owned by the LAs and
transferred to SWMSB during privatization.

Vehicles used for waste collection do not have leachate

containment compartments.
Those vehicles that are equipped with leachate containment
compartments are often of insufficient capacity.
Possible design issues as leachate containment compartments
are easily damaged.
Vehicles are not adequately maintained resulting in loss of
containment due to damaged parts.

Chapter 3: Infrastructure and Physical Planning

Collection
Conversion and Upgrading of Collection Fleet

There is no uniformity or standardization in collection receptacles and

vehicles to optimize waste collection.
Some LAs report incompatibility between collection receptacles and
vehicles due to the design of receptacle storage areas which prevents
proper access of waste collection vehicles to the loading points
resulting in frequent damage of storage area structures (kerb and
roof).

Complaints received from the public commonly pertain to the quality

of collection work performed particularly on mishandling of
receptacles as well as release of leachate from collection vehicles

Insufficient vehicles and vehicle breakdowns due to age result in late

collection of waste particularly from households.
