The Story of the Forgotten Drain Waste

In recent month, after the formation of Taman Bukit Blossom Resident Association (TBBRA) the Southern Waste Management (SWM) has been kept on their toes on their services rendered.

Drain cleaning is one of the important scheduled task to be carried out by SWM in our Taman. Improper disposal of the waste from these drains will be an eye sore as well as hazardous to health and environment.

Thanks to resident's highlighting the issue of the "waste from the drain not taken away" couple of days back along with pictures, we were able to get SWM to clean up these waste within 24hrs.

It was also highlighted that these SWM contractors often practise this, whereby they just dump all the waste collected from the drain, on the road side and tend to "forget" to collect it. This "forgotten" waste will then get pushed back into the drain when the rain comes, or fly all over the taman when its already dried.

In view of this, we urge the TBBRA members as well as the residents to continue to highlight to us, should there be anymore issues with SWM (along with pictures if possible) so that we can remind them of their "forgotten" duties.

Remember folks, it is OUR responsibility to ensure we live in a clean and healthy environment !
