Recycling centers in Kuala Lumpur
While recycling is very common in Europe, it is not that popular yet in many other places in the world. It is good to recycle, because it reduces waste piles and besides; things you do not like anymore could still be of value to others right?
For example, within the expat community areas there is the Damansara recycling center:
- Recycling Center at Damansara Jaya, PJ
- Open: every Sunday for 2 hours, 10am – 12 pm
- Location: Jln. SS22/47, SL 47400, Damansara Jaya (behind Sekolah Kebangsaan Damansara Jaya 1)
- 3° 7′ 21.828″ N, 101° 36′ 59.2524″ E
There is also a recycle center at Ikano Power Center, Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya
Below a link to all recycle centers in Kuala Lumpur:

It’s wonderful that you’re highlighting the importance of recycling! Indeed, recycling helps reduce waste, conserves resources, and benefits the environment.

Recycling centers are one of the easiest ways to reduce your trash. They allow you to get rid of all your recyclable materials in a single place, like a facility that takes paper, cans, and plastic, or a place that takes glass, aluminum cans, and cardboard.

I had irritating experience with CRC (center of recycling). We tried to call them on a Saturday, sent message but nobody bothered to answer our calls, call back or even reply our message. On Monday we tried again, somebody only replied our whatsapp message with confusing English. Tulis Melayu lah if your English is non understandable. We listed out our items to give away with descriptions whether they are still usable or not. Then crc guy wanted pictures pulak. After that with his entah apa English, they told us they only will take good condition items. I already had a strange feeling when I saw the pics on their fb. Too many pics with thumbs up but in reality only God knows.
Maybe mine is an isolated case because you could read flying colors review but please lah, put somebody that has some marketing skills in charge. All the tenants are moving out here which means there would be a lot more furniture to give away. In western country, recycling is a multi billion dollars business. Over here only want to do easy job. Dey, I can just dismantle the furniture and throw them at the recycling centers.

always i used to read smaller posts that as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this article which I am reading at this place.
Tash 02/10/2016
They have gone bad, ignoring calls and promised to pick up but never appear. Sometimes after 2 weeks after the prmised date, only appear.
Tash 02/10/2016
Icycle, i meant that has been really unprofessional!

As i know, kl-selangor area not many recycler accept glasses as recycables. So far i know only iCYCLE and Kechara recycling day (Sunwaymas) did.
Besides that, iCYCLE pickup toner/cartridges, old clothings, light bulb, AA batteries, e-waste etc.

there are quite a number of recycling collectors around KL & selangor, consider two types of them like 1st type is they visit your place with some token pay with they “buy”, they buy paper, plastic, computer almost 60% of household items, another type will be consider like “donate” for charity, same as first choice but be aware of some charity collector will “charge” RM80+/- just want to give away your usable mattress or dining set, no comment for 2nd choice & depend on your decision, you can google search and will get alot of contact which is nearby your area.
alyaa 05/11/2013
may i know, what are the price range these days for recycling items in Malaysia? especially around Selangor and KL. its because i’m collecting money for my batch project, but they don’t want to recycle, because they think its cheap. but i did the recycling project anyway.
Iylham 05/06/2013
Hi, I tried looking for a place in Ampang Jaya to recycle but the link that was shared is no longer available. I am not recycling in bulk but just my every month waste.
Is there any other place you can suggest that is near to where I live ?
Thanks !

Hi,
I am from Singapore and interested to put a plastic recycling facility in Johor, Malaysia. Does anyone knows where i should get the licenses, or the procedure to open up this business?
Thank you.
Akira 20/05/2013
hi, may i know any recycling center around klang, shah alam or kota damansara that accepts glass bottles (I’ve been wondering how you guys even get rid of these stuff since most of the recycle centers don’t accept glass bottles) .
Ilya 25/05/2013
I do not think glass is being recycled in Malaysia. We always threw it away in our regular garbage bags. We did recycle paper and plastics..but not glass…perhaps this will change. I assumed current recycling techniques in Malaysia is able to shift glass from the other rubbish?
Asdas 01/05/2013
Hello,

To make the recycling easy, Recycle & Reward collects recyclables in front of your doorstep. With a click away your recyclables are gone without need to move around, dirtying cars or finding a recycling centre nearby. Each pick-up earns you Green Points which you can redeem for nice products.
Link to their website: http://recycleandreward.my
riana azmi 15/06/2012
yes, i’m one of their customers (recycle & reward). i don’t know what happened to them lately. been trying to contact them the past week but to no avail. now, my house looks like a ‘tempat pelupusan sampah’.
Ilya 16/06/2012
My Bahasa isn’t that great…you mean that they seem to be out of business? Perhaps they are in over their heads (which would be a good signal)? 🙂
riana azmi 16/06/2012
i’m not sure whether they are out of business or not. that’s the problem. they didn’t post any announcement on their website (by the way, ‘tempat pelupusan sampah’ means a dumpster haha…
Ilya 16/06/2012
Ah, ok :). Good to know when I visit friends haha :). I will try and find a way to contact them. If I hear anything I’ll post it here.!
Jasmine 16/07/2013
Don’t bother with Recycle & Reward! I have been their member for the past 2.5 years and the service is really terrible. Don’t pick up calls, don’t collect on the set date – totally ignore your request. We were even asked to pay RM50 for the pick ups! Totally not worh it! My suggestion is try else where to avoid the furstration.
Chae Lian 01/08/2013
Absolutely agree! They’re very disorganised and now, they have the cheek to tell me that they will only collect non-alcoholic glass bottles… WTF!!! They are totally unprofessional!
Pauline 16/01/2014
Recycle and Reward underwent management changes ie they were bought over by another company. i finally managed to redeem my long outstanding vouchers phew! That was in the middle of 2013
They came to my place to collect the recyclable items some time during 3rd quarter. Now I have a batch of recyclables for collection and haven’t been able to contact them – phone disconnected and website is no longer in service.
Me thinks that they have finally closed down
Sharon 22/01/2014
Yea I couldn’t get hold of them either. They’re really unprofessional and service isn’t all that good. I heard that they’ve gone bust, cited financial problems and have closed down the business apparently. I was a member for a year and have not redeemed any points yet, there goes my green points – they were worth about RM100 too! 🙁
Ilya 16/01/2014
Too bad :(. Another great initiative gone again. Hope alternatives arrive soon….
Vincent 09/02/2014
you guys can try with iCYCLE, they are collecting most of the recyclables in Klang Valley.

Drop the act dude! Vincent,icycle is your company and your services sucks hard!

Ikano Power Center – now rebranded to IPC – has launched its ‘new’ Recycle Center. I think it is very good that they promote this so clearly visible on their website (mainpage).
They accept the following items: Newspapers, Books & Magazines, Cardboards, Tins/Metal Cans, Aluminium Cans and Plastic Bottles.
Operating Hours: 10am – 6pm daily
Location: Loading Bay (behind the centre)
Check out their website here.

Recycling centers in Kuala Lumpur are conveniently located near major population hubs. They typically offer drop-off services for various types of recycling materials, including glass, cardboard, paper, plastic bottles and cans, and even used batteries.
