The efficiency of solid waste collection is influenced by the type of vehicle used,
methods of collection and the type of area served with the r2 values equal to 100%.
Mechanical collection with a lifter has been proven to be the most efficient
(0.39 minute/lot) compared to manual collection by open lorry which is the
least efficient (5.11 minute/lot). In terms of area served, collection of waste in
residential areas is the most efficient at about 0.19 minute/lot. The semimechanical
collection method is relatively cheaper (RM415,720/lorry.year)
than manual collection (RM435,290/lorry.year). In addition, the collection of
solid waste by private agencies is relatively cheaper than collection by government
agencies
