I collect old desktop and laptop that you do not want or are damaged. The parts are recycled in approved processes that do not contaminate the environment. In addition, I provide free hard drive (even damaged) data transfer in exchange for your unwanted computer. This data transfer prevents your years of private and confidential documents from being copied that may cost you dearly. After the data transfer, your hard disk will be destroyed in your presence.

Recycling should be a daily exercise in people as it might take your relaxation time to go to the recycling bins and discard of the items.
After all we are we are providing a better future for the next generation
So,take your recycling bags and start to fill them up now

I feel that participating in the National Recycling Programme only makes the participant more conscious about the type of materials one throws away through segregation such as paper, plastics, metal, and etc, but it doesn’t help any reduction in waste disposal.

So, in this respect, how has recycling made us more environmentally friendly and caring?

Perhaps, it is time that educating the general public, in particular, those who live in HDB apartments, who encounter challenges with space. For example, if 1 household will to put the stems and roots of vegetables into plastic containers and let them decompose to become organic fertilisers, could you imagine how much waste is being actually reduced and a new & natural product is borne? However, how could home owners manage constrains in space in their homes and, not to mention the odour from the process of decomposition? Even when the common corridor is made use of, how could the foul smell be handled and managed?

Another example would be the discards from fruits, has any one heard about “Garbage Enzyme” and started to make it? I talked about it with a friend recently, and her response was, she hasn’t the time and space to bother collecting/segregating the discards of fruits from other food matter. This is the typical response of most Singaporeans. How could such mindsets be converted?

As for me, I am still trying to allocate space in the kitchen for my garbage enzyme, and collect enough big plastic containers to hold the fruit discards before trying it out. Would share more of the results when the enzymes are supposedly to turn into eco-friendly cleaning agents.

Beer is good for plants. How about collecting left over beer for nursery or orchard? Or at least educate the shop owner rather than pouring it away.
