According to the KDEB Waste Management report, a total of 48,136 tonnes of garbage were collected in eight local councils (PBTs) affected by the floods.
MBSA recorded the highest collection among the affected councils with 20,577 tonnes.
Followed by Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) with 8,824 tonnes, Klang Municipal Council (MPK) at 7,654 tonnes and Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) with 5,820 tonnes.
While Sepang Municipal Council (MPS) recorded 2,537 tonnes, Kuala Langat Municipal Council (MPKL) at 1,150 tonnes, Kuala Selangor Municipal Council (MPKS) at 1,078 tonnes and Petaling Jaya City Council (MNPJ) with 503 tonnes.
Two local councils recorded more than 90 per cent progress in the post-flood cleanup with MBSJ at 99 per cent and MPK (98 per cent).
Meanwhile, the cleanup work in MBSA, MBPJ, MPS, MPKj, MPKL and MPKS administrative areas have been fully completed.
The state government-owned solid waste management company was involved in the cleanup operation of flood-affected areas for several districts in stages since December 19 last year.
KDEBWM also received assistance from volunteers and local councils from other states to expedite the process.
The torrential rain from December 17 until 19 resulted in double the rainfall compared to the previous high of 180 millimetres, causing severe flooding in several locations of Selangor.
