Trienekens (Sarawak) Sdn. Bhd. today reminded residents who plan to carry out their spring cleaning in time for the festival to do so as early as possible to avoid any rush and allowing waste collection to be carried out as smoothly and effectively as possible.
“The weeks before Chinese New Year Day are usually the busiest period as shopping and spring cleaning activities increases. To support the excessive waste due to these activities, Trienekens will be providing additional mobile garbage bins (MGBs) at main commercial centres and selected residential areas,” announced Trienekens’ Senior Manager, Operations, Mr. Elvin Wee. “We urge the residents to take advantage of containers and ensure cleanliness in their neighbourhood,” he said. These bins are located at:
DBKU Area:

MBKS Area:
Everrise Departmental Store (Padungan), Kenyalang Park Food Stalls, Jalan Foochow No.1 (behind the shophouse), KMC Flats, Pending Flats, Choice Daily (Tabuan Laru), Everise BDC and BDC Recycle Centre, Dua Puluh Jln Sherif Masahor, Bintawa Market, MBKS Stutong Market,MBKS Stutong Low Cost Housing.

Residents at these areas are reminded to practice care when disposing of their waste and to throw them directly into the bulky bins to avoid over spilling of waste.
For smaller household items, residents can pack the wastes neatly and place it next to their wheel bins outside their homes. They can then contact Trienekens at 082-612300 to inform that it is ready for collection.
Bulky or garden wastes in DBKU area, however, is not collected by Trienekens as the city council carries out their own collection schedule for such wastes. Residents in DBKU areas may call DBKU’s Hotline at 082-444111 for any arrangements of collection.
Trienekens also appeal for public co-operation to use their wheel bins for wastes disposal and to pack all wastes in proper garbage bags. For additional wastes, which cannot fit into the wheel bin, should also be tied-up in garbage bags (for green wastes such as branches to be cut and tied up neatly) and placed next to the bin. Household residents are urged not to indiscriminately dump their bulky/garden waste at housing back lanes, residential main roads or in nearby bushes as such acts are considered illegal.
Mr. Wee mentioned that it is important to keep the domestic waste tightly secured inside a garbage bag and keep the lids closed at all times, especially during rainy season to prevent rain-water from mixing with wastes. To reduce leachate spillage, residents are advised to drain out any form of liquid such as soup or gravy from the kitchen waste before disposing the solid waste into the bin.
As for substantial amount of green wastes, bulky wastes or construction wastes, residents can contact Trienekens HOTLINE or Customer Care for disposal service at a reasonable fee.
In addition to the provision of extra bins, Trienekens’ waste trucks will be working on a Saturday shift during Chinese New Year Eve (13th February 2010) from 8.00a.m. until midnight so that residents in MBKS, MPP and part of DBKU jurisdiction can dispose their festive wastes into their wheel bins on this particular day. The Trienekens’ Hotline 082-612300 operation hours will also be extended from 8.00 a.m. to 12.00 midnight on 13th February 2010 to receive enquiries or requests from the public. Any information from the public on excess wastes spotted around Kuching is most welcomed.
