WASTE STORAGE
Systematic storage of solid waste is essential to avoid
interference from animals such as dogs and cats as well as
prevent the breeding of flies, rodents or insects that can
cause harm to humans and the environment.
It also aims to facilitate the collection of solid waste.
There are various types of storage used in residential
premises to date:
Garbage Bin
Communal Bin
Spiral Waste Bin
Deep Collection System
Vacuum System
GARBAGE BIN
For premises on ground, garbage bins are usually
used as storage at each premises.
COMMUNAL BIN
Communal bins used in low and medium cost storey houses as
a centralized storage.
Residents are required to bring to the place of collected
waste storage.

Is one of the high-capacity storage of solid waste where
solid waste will be compressed.
This way the capacity of solid waste stored is higher.
It can be used in areas with quantities of solid wastes such as
in condominiums and apartments.
DEEP COLLECTION SYSTEM
The system uses a cellar for storing waste where most of the
bins buried in the ground and a bag made of HDPE is
placed in the bins to store waste.
This system can avoid the need to build a garbage house
making it space saving and cheap in construction costs.
VACUUM COLLECTION SYSTEM
ENVIRONMENTAL
Consideration of EIA report and geotechnical aspects i.e: existing
land use, type of surface, groundwater levels and slope stability.
Consideration of the effects of groundwater and surface water
pollution.
LANDFILL METHOD
OPEN DUMPING
Conventional method and is still practiced in many
places throughout Malaysia.
Not a proper method and exposed to bad odors and
