From 1 Aug 2017, the National Environment Agency (NEA) will begin licensing general waste-disposal facilities.
This comes as the number of such facilities has steadily increased over the years, due to a rise in the volume of waste.
There are now more than 300 general waste-disposal facilities here. Such facilities receive, store, process or treat general waste.
In a statement on Tuesday (July 11), NEA said the licensing framework will "enhance the agency's existing regulatory regime to further safeguard public health and the environment".
More information on the licensing scheme can be found here.
