Running waste across many outlets usually means many collectors, many invoices and no single figure. This page shows what one contract across every site looks like: one invoice split by outlet, every pickup logged with weight, time and photo, and which rules differ between your Act 672 sites and your Selangor sites.
What changes when every site moves onto one contract
Most chains manage waste one site at a time. That is not carelessness. It is how a chain grows: each new outlet signs whichever contractor serves that town. Head office then stitches the bills together in a spreadsheet at month-end.
It works until someone asks what you spent on waste last quarter and what stayed out of landfill. Nobody can answer in one place.
| Managing each site on its own | Every site on one contract, in GarGeon Connect |
|---|---|
| A different vendor, contract and contact at every outlet | One partner, one contract, one point of contact |
| A stack of invoices in different formats each month | One invoice, with cost split by site |
| No shared record of what each site throws away | Every pickup logged with weight, timestamp and photo |
| Charges you take on the vendor's word | Each charge matched to a photo-verified pickup |
| Missed collections you hear about when a bin overflows | Each scheduled pickup checked against the pickup that was logged |
| Disposal and recycling proof scattered across email and paper | The same record for every site, ready to export |
| Cost per outlet is guesswork | Spend shown per site and per waste type |
Spreadsheets only show the past, one site at a time, after someone has copied the figures in. One partner running every site on one contract is what we call total waste management.
Leighton Construction made that move. Every site had a different vendor. Now its five sites run on one contract, with one invoice and one point of contact.
Shopping centres face a harder version: every tenant runs its own collector inside one building. We cover that in retail and mall waste management.
Your Act 672 sites and your Selangor sites follow different rules
A chain that crosses a state line answers to more than one authority. With outlets in both Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, you already cross one.
On 29 July 2026 the Housing and Local Government Minister announced that the Cabinet had agreed to extend Act 672 to Selangor in phases, covering all 12 local authorities. No start date or phase order has been published. So Selangor's local councils and KDEB Waste Management still run solid waste there today.
| Where the site is | Who is in charge of solid waste | What to check for that site |
|---|---|---|
| Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Johor, Kedah, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang or Perlis | SWCorp, under Act 672 | The collector holds a SWCorp licence |
| Selangor | The local council and KDEB Waste Management, today | The collector holds the local authority approval for that site |
| Any other state | The local council, or the state government in Sabah and Sarawak | The collector holds the local authority or state approval for that site |
In the Act 672 states, commercial premises have had to separate waste at source since 2020. The rule asks you to separate your waste, appoint a licensed collector and keep disposal records. Our Act 672 compliance guide covers each case in full.
Westlite Dormitory sits under both sets of rules, with five locations in Johor and Selangor. We run all five on one system, and 95% of collections are on time.
The simple answer is one record for every site. Each GarGeon pickup carries a photo, a timestamp and the weight. Whichever authority a site answers to, its pickups are recorded the same way.
How does consolidated billing work across every outlet?
Consolidated billing means one invoice for the whole group instead of one per outlet. We roll every site, waste type and pickup into one monthly bill. Under the total, the cost is split by outlet and by waste type.
That split is the point. The outlet paying far more than its neighbours stops hiding in the average, and you can ask why before you renew. By waste type, you see which recyclables should be earning a rebate.
Every charge on a GarGeon invoice is tied to a pickup that was photographed, weighed and time-stamped. Finance does not approve a number on trust. You match each charge to the pickup it paid for, and you catch a billing error before you pay.
DayOne Data Centre Malaysia has every location on one invoice. Finance reconciles one statement instead of several. Our centralised billing page explains it in full.
What should a chain-wide waste contract demand?
A loose contract can survive at one site. Across a chain, the same weak clause is repeated at every outlet. Put these in writing:
- One point of contact. One partner, one contract and one named contact who knows every site.
- Weight, not estimated volume. A photo, a timestamp and the weight for every pickup. "Two bins" cannot be audited. Kilograms can.
- A schedule that gets checked. Each scheduled pickup should be matched against the pickup that was logged, so a miss shows in the record.
- The right approval at each site. A SWCorp-licensed collector at every Act 672 site, and the local authority or state approval everywhere else.
- A named disposal site for each type of waste. Ask where each load goes, and for the record that shows it.
- Cost split by site and by waste type. Not one flat monthly rate across the group.
- A share of the rebate on recyclables. Cardboard, plastic and metal have resale value. The contract should return a share of that rebate to you.
A per-site record turns recycling into a number you can track. We manage waste at one Signature Market site, not a chain. In 2025 that site kept 68.598 of 93.09 tonnes out of landfill, or 73.69%.
You can keep your current vendors or hand us the collection
You do not have to change every vendor on day one. There are two ways to work with us.
Software only. GarGeon Connect sits on top of the vendors you already use. Their pickups go onto one dashboard, so you get one view and one report across every site, even mid-contract.
Software plus collection. We run collection through our partner collectors in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Johor. You get one contract, one invoice and one team for every site.
You can start with the first and move collection to us site by site, as each contract comes up for renewal. For the rules and costs that apply at each site, see our guide to waste management in Malaysia.
If you cannot say what your outlets spent on waste and what stayed out of landfill, fix that first. Tell us your locations and the vendors you use today. We will show you one dashboard and one invoice. Book a consultation to get started.
