KUCHING (April 26): Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has announced that the next round of its 'Recycle and Buy Back Campaign' will take place on May 17 at MPP's Nursery Site's parking lot in Desa Wira.
The announcement was made by MPP chairman Tan Kai during Emart Batu Kawa's 'Recycle and Buy Back Campaign' this morning, where he encouraged greater public participation in environmental initiatives.
'I encourage more people to take part as we bring this campaign closer to the heart of our communities.
'Every effort counts when it comes to protecting our planet,' he said.
Tan reiterated that the initiative supports several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), Goal 14 (Life Below Water), Goal 15 (Life on Land), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
He also reminded the public that quarterly Other Household Waste (OHW) collections, which include hazardous waste, will continue to be carried out by Trienekens in March, June, September, and November.
The campaign, a joint effort between Emart Batu Kawa, MPP, DNS Waste Management Sdn Bhd, Kim Huang Enterprise, and Tzu Chi Foundation Kuching, enables the public to exchange recyclable items, such as paper, plastic, aluminium, and electronic waste, for rewards under a buy-back system.
