In year 2020, a total of 2.9 million tonnes of solid waste was generated by Malaysians. The enormous solid waste generated will prompt irresponsible parties disposing it in illegal landfill by ignoring the guidelines had been set by the authorities. To prevent these illegal activities from beingidentified , the landfill is usually located in hidden areas hence difficult to detect using conventional methods. Indeed, it is a serious matter that must be borne by the government because of its negative impact on human health and the environment. Using the latest advances in remote sensing technology, the location of landfills can be identified through high-resolution satellite images and verified using drone systems with Full Motion Video (FMV) toprovide accurate information to local authorities for enforcement. Therefore, Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) in an effort to develop a new technique to assist the authorities in the waste category verification, landfill area size estimation and identifying the nearest sensitive area affected. In this paper, a pilot test conducted in Klang Valley area in years 2019 to prove the remote sensing technology is able to make the local authority’s enforcement work more effectively and the dynamic information data acquisition is useful for prosecution evidence in court
