After that, residents are required to fill in personal data and the application form. The application will then be verified by DLH officers before collection at the applicant’s location. If approved, officers from the Sub-Directorate of Environment or Environmental Service Unit will come directly to collect the bulky waste. In addition to collection, residents can also deliver the bulky waste themselves to designated collection points. The following are the requirements: The types of waste that can be collected include large household waste such as mattresses, sofas, tables, wardrobes, and other large household items.
