In the early days, garbage on Penang Island was sent to the landfill in Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai, via a barge from the Batu Maung jetty. Since 2011, garbage has been going through the Ampang Jajar waste transfer station, a transit point that is shared with the Seberang Perai Municipal Council on the mainland.
As capacity increased over the years, plans were made for Penang Island City Council (MBPP) to have its own waste transfer station on the island—an integrated solid waste management system to efficiently handle all issues related to the transfer and disposal of bulk and domestic waste.
Located within the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone—right next to the Penang Second Bridge—the waste-managing facility’s design seeks to set itself apart, both operationally and aesthetically, as a benchmark facility of its kind.
