Kota Kinabalu: City Hall (DBKK) is strengthening its waste management capabilities by adding new compactor trucks to its fleet. 

Mayor Datuk Seri Dr Sabin Samitah said the initiative is part of DBKK’s commitment to improving the quality of urban cleanliness.

In a statement released on DBKK’s Facebook page Tuesday, he said the addition of these compactor trucks would improve the garbage collection works and indirectly boost the morale of the DBKK’s cleaning teams.

“A total of 10 new compactor trucks were received today at a handover ceremony at the Solid Waste Management Department,” the statement wrote.

DBKK has pledged to ensure that waste collection services in the city are carried out smoothly and without disruption, despite the challenges posed by a limited number of functional garbage trucks.

The new compactor trucks will support DBKK’s existing logistics, covering operational areas from Zone 1 to Zone 8, including Kota Kinabalu, Kepayan, Likas-Damai, Kolombong-Bukit Padang, Inanam, Menggatal, Telipok-Sepanggar and the hilly regions.

The ceremony saw the handover of the truck keys from Managing Director of Universal Motor Sdn Bhd, Datuk Chok Yun Kiong, to the Mayor.

Also present were DBKK Director-General Sr Lifred Wong, DBKK Deputy Director-General (Operations) Robert Lipon, DBKK Deputy Director-General (Financial Management) Victor Gerard Kuasi and other DBKK heads of departments.
