O-waste, E-waste - Do You Know?

September 23, 2019 · Useful Thoughts

When it comes to recycling, gotta get this right --- Segregation!

Id est -- Pizza remains to be thrown in the Garbage (Red bin) or Organics (Green bin) and the box in the Recyclable (Yellow bin).

Thought of sharing tips on recyclables since I had personally visited a CRC.

  1. E-waste - Batteries, Chargers, Mobiles, Cables, Bulbs - Check for CRC near you!
  2. Organic waste - Food waste, Garden waste - Check for CRC near you!
  3. Plastics - Not all plastics are recycled, please check for this symbol - ♻️
    • Wash the container/ Scrape off food before dropping them for recycling.
  4. Metals & Glasses - Sauce bottles, Juice bottles, Tin, Aluminium trays, Cans.
    • Windows, Mirrors are NOT OK!
  5. Papers - Junk mails, Cardboards, Cartons, Cards, Books, Brochures, Paper bags.
    • NO to Paper plates & Tissues / Serviettes.

Tip - Never drop Cloths, Plastic bags / toys, Nappies, Bubble Wrap for recycling !
