Where Does Your Rubbish Go? (Part 1) - Shah Alam Transfer Station

Environmental students love field trips where you can get out from the class and go to somewhere interesting and play. However there are always some places that we are reluctant to go. All of you know what I mean. It must be some nasty places. Well, I have gone to an open dumping site during the trip to Chini Lake last year. A transfer station should be better, right? Oh you have not heard of a transfer station? Neither do I, until this semester, hahaha. 

The view of the main building from bus. You can see a path on the left that leads towards the building. It is where the rubbish trucks go to unload their content.

This building looks nice. But the smell? Err..
