On and off, I will always make sure I pack the old newspapers and magazines in the recycle bag that were provided to us and place it outside our unit. I do suspect that some other people would 'steal' them and sell them to garung guni man to get some money but I don't care. Because all these end up getting recycled too.
Lately, I started keeping the plastic bottles and containers of products that we completed (from shower gel, shampoo, hair conditioner, moisturizer etc) so that we can pack it in and dump into the recycle bin. I actually felt happy about it! We are all doing our little bit so let's start somewhere and start recycling!!
ya singapore is not very big on recycling, different from some of the other 'more developed' asian cities. even though we create a lot of waste everyday!
ReplyDeleteimagine that we have these recycling bins at the airport where you can separate your trash based on type, but when the cleaner comes he just empties everything into ONE big trash bag!? when i saw that once, i was thinking.. WTF
Even the cleaner doesn't know how to separate the trash, this clearly shows the recycling education here in Singapore is a total failure.
