Common Questions

Common questions about digital vs manual waste management

Businesses ask about tracking, records, licences and ESG before they switch.

Every pickup is recorded with a time-stamped photo taken by the crew. The landfill ticket is then saved against that pickup, showing where the waste went. You see each record in the dashboard once the pickup is done.

You get a full record for every pickup. That means its time, a photo and a landfill ticket. You also get monthly exports by tonnage and ESG figures ready for your report. Manual services usually give you only a monthly invoice.

Ask your collector for their licence, or check it on the SWCorp website. SWCorp is the federal solid waste agency. Act 672 is Malaysia's solid waste law. In the states it covers, collectors must hold a SWCorp licence.

Fines of up to RM100,000, up to five years in prison, or both. This covers illegal dumping and using unlicensed collectors. Your business must make sure its waste reaches a proper facility. A record of every pickup shows that it did.

It gives your ESG team the numbers, ready to export. GarGeon records total waste and the recycling rate by waste type. It also shows waste kept out of landfill and carbon estimates. You don't have to build the spreadsheet yourself.

Yes. One dashboard covers every site. You can see pickup schedules, check compliance and compare sites. You can also export the data for all of them at once. Manual services usually need a separate contract and contact for each site.

Solid waste is everyday business and household waste. SWCorp regulates it under Act 672. Scheduled waste is hazardous, such as chemicals, clinical waste and e-waste. The Department of Environment (DOE) regulates it under the Environmental Quality Act. Each type needs different licences and steps.

Most business premises need 2 to 3 pickups a week. It depends on how much waste you make and its type. Construction sites may need a pickup every day. Digital records show where you can cut trips and still avoid overflow.
