Two Ipoh schools also won in their respective categories:

2. SK Rapat Setia is the runner-up for the largest e-waste collected for primary schools.

The e-waste collection challenge organised in conjunction with National Environment Day 2022 was an activity expected to improve the service performance organically, and to achieve the target of Ipoh as the cleanest city by 2023, making it a sustainable and liveable city.

The celebration of Perak state-level National Environment Day 2022 took place over the weekend on 29th and 30th October at AEON Midtown Falim. It was launched by YB.
