Impact of pandemic COVID-19 on solid waste compositional trends in Pasar Awam Maharani Muar.

The world was astounded by the emergence of the deadly virus COVID-19 at the end of 2019. In March 2020, Malaysia's first Movement Control Order (MCO) was initiated to stop the spread of the virus that ended in June 2021. Hence, this paper was initiated to study the impact of the pandemic and M...

In March 2020, Malaysia's first Movement Control Order (MCO) was initiated to stop the spread of the virus that ended in June 2021. Hence, this paper was initiated to study the impact of the pandemic and MCO on the generation of waste in Pasar Awam Maharani Muar (PAMM). The waste generation rate and the trend of waste accumulation according to different categories were recognised. The PAMM operates 8 hours daily, and the area strictly observes Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) established by the government.
