Under the Malaysia Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672),
'disposal' means the disposal of any solid waste by any means including destruction, incineration and
deposit or decomposing. One of the common methods of disposal construction waste in Malaysia is
through dumping in landfill (The Ingenieur, 2009). There are about 289 landfills which also includesdumpsites. However, 113 of these landfills are no longer in operation due to protest from the surrounding
residents or have reached their full capacity. The balances of 176 landfills which are in operation are as in
Table 1. All the landfills are under the jurisdiction of local authority except a few owned by the Federal
Government (The Ingenieur, 2009). The Malaysia Government is still planning to open another 9 more
landfills to cope with the demand (Jurutera, 2011). Since landfill is simple and cheap method unlike
incinerator which is more expensive and requires technological experts to operate it
