SINGAPORE: To facilitate proper waste disposal for fish farmers, a new jetty will be built at Lorong Halus by early 2014, which will house a waste collection centre.
In a written response to a question in Parliament raised by NMP Faizah Jamal, National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan said that the AVA requires fish farmers to dispose of their waste properly.
They can do so at collection points available at the Lim Chu Kang jetty, Changi Creek, or at Senoko Fishery Port.
AVA and the Police Coast Guard also carry out routine inspections, including night raids, to keep a look-out for the illegal dumping of waste into the sea or on Pulau Ubin.
As for the feasibility of door-to-door trash collection -- an idea mooted by Ms Jamal -- the minister said the cost was too high for fish farmers.
