Municipal solid waste covers 64% of the overall waste composition in Malaysia. The highest waste found in the municipal solid waste was household waste, from which 70-80% of the total waste consisted of recyclable materials disposed at the landfills. Solid waste management which focuses on the recovery potential of recyclable materials found at the landfills helps in restoring environment by reducing the volume of waste at the landfills, and by improving economic market of recyclable materials. Thus, this study aims to identify the value of input and output flows of recyclable materials in municipal solid waste (MSW) system at the generation, collection and transportation, separation, and final disposal phase. The application of Material Flow Analysis (MFA) was suitable as the supporting tool in order to visualize the flows of the recyclable materials throughout the four phases in the MSW system. The primary data for the MFA were obtained from field observation, in-depth interviews and literature review, covering eight districts of Terengganu. The results showed that the highest input flow of recyclables materials in the MSW system was from household waste flow. The total flow of recyclable materials was 1.54 kilotonnes per year while the output flow of recyclable materials being recycled was only 6.92 kilotonnes per year from the overall flow of the system. It is suggested that the partnership between private sectors and local authority should also involve intensive promotion of the 3Rs activities to encourage recycling activities among people in Terengganu.
