Recycle Often.. Recycle Properly!!

Finally, our estate has its own recycling point!!


This has been a long time... The bright recycle bins are located in the parking area (B2) between Blocks B and C, so there's really no excuse not to use them to recycle paper, plastic, glass, soft drink cans, etc.

But I noticed that some people were dumping stuff (especially plastic bags) into the incorrect bins, and worse, dumping non-recyclable waste into the bins as well. Like food!! :( Please.. if you're going to recycle, do it properly...!!

DON'T DUMP INTO THE BINS THE FOLLOWING..
  • disposable cups or containers (eg those used by hawkers for meals)
  • uncleaned bottles, plastic and glass materials. Wash/rinse them first. It really stinks if this happens :(
  • porcelain (eg kitchenware) cups, plates, spoons etc.
  • light bulbs, window glass, food wrappers (eg McDonalds wrappers, boxes, even the fries packaging)
You can find more information on what you can and can't recycle here:

Please be considerate when recycling.. It's likely the stuff you put in there's going to stay for a few days so if you don't at the very least RINSE it, it's gonna cause a stinker...!
