86,021 metric tons of trash removed from Klang River since 2016

: Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has shared that the amount of trash removed from Klang River since 2016 annually continued to decline while the water quality of the river has slowly improved.

“Two river-cleaning machines have been used since 2019 and they have been very instrumental in collecting rubbish, including plastic waste and shows how the state government, Menteri Besar Incorporated and Landasan Lumayan Sdn Bhd have achieved success,” he told reporters after visiting Mangrove Point recreational park here yesterday.

Meanwhile, LLSB said in a statement that under the Selangor Maritime Gateway, 86,021 metric tons of floating rubbish, the equivalent of 470 Boeing 747 aircraft, was removed from the Klang River.
