What happens to the trash you toss into the recycling bin? 

The concept of recycling in Spore still behind ...compare to Korean, Japan, taiwan... Lot ppl still throw food waste to ♻️ bin then cause other recycling item contamined..

Lots of people don't even bother to take 5 extra steps to reach the recycle bin at my estate. They just dump everything beside the green bin. We have a long way to go to educate people here on recycling..

we need to be more mindful of what are the items we throw inside the recycling bin. I often see people throwing general trash inside, and this makes the process more difficult. If each of us do our part, we can improve the quality of recycling in Singapore.

Can you show us how sorting is done? What can and cannot be recycled? What is considered as contaminated waste? Etc? Instead of an overview. It would be great to share these as we all know people are not very educated on this topic. It is only to my knowledge that labels cannot be recycled after reading this news. The blue recycling bin, although has upgraded to a bigger size and better recycling label. I thought it would be great to have separated bins (glass/plastic/cardboard etc) I feel that this will minimize contamination as not everything is dumped together. Thank you! Disclaimer: just sharing my thoughts no hates at all! Great effort Singapore!!! Please share/comment if I've mentioned smth wrong about recycling.

Should show this on more avenues maybe like bus stop adverts or tv or youtube ads... maybe people will learn more about recycling.

Someone need to change the design of the recycling bin

we still need more publicity and advertising on recycling

Beside household waste there are toxic substance such as batteries and electronic waste that get burnt and dump in landfill. These landfill get wash with rain water taking the rare metals with them. Rare metallic oxide from mobile phones to printed circuit boards

so many times, so many times ive seen cleaners DUMP recycling bin things TOGETHER with the general waste.. SO MANY TIMES... no matter how much we try, the cleaners need to do their part too by SEPARATING the trash from the recyclables as they are

Maybe we need an mp in charge of recycling .. Maybe Mp Josephine Toh is the right person 🤣🤣

Omg that Volvo FE 300 looks so good

This is focusing on the waste for recycling isn’t it. How about the general waste especially like household waste? I’m wondering why Singapore doesn’t consider to sort waste out when they dump rubbish.

Show me more about recycled materials type 2 plastic containers

Some elderly guy will rummage through it first and make a mess of it before it makes it to the recycling center, the smaller guys will usually cart of with the more valuable items. See it constantly at my recycle dumpster.

My main concern is glass. I don't recycle because I not sure if it can survive the journey. It will create sharp glasses that may cut the sorters. I feel glass should be separated

The information issue that the UK residents told me they can't put types of plastic are not recycled 2 types are not able to put into bins because the recycling centres have not got facilities to cope with in.

One thing abt spore, we are way far behind when it comes to recycling, having to stayed in kr for 5yrs before coming back to sg, they are way ahead of us. And not to mentioned abt jp, or even tw. Is abt how u educate its people on what’s to recycle and what’s not. Instead I have seen pple throwing all sorts of non reycle items into the bins too. Blue and green doesn’t matter to them, to the people here, is abt convenience. And tbh that’s sad.

Why can’t we have separate bins for separate items like other countries who are doing such as red for plastic blue for paper green for glass yellow for metals? This makes more sense and reduces the amount of sorting work done in the collection facilities. It is a lot lot lot work to sort and contamination is high versus of all items have their own bins

Totally better than indonesia's waste management. Excellent!!

If the supermarket stops packing everything in plastics then u womt get plastic trash.. Make those type of grocery where u can bring ur own container and take necessary amount.. It have to start from the supplier of those goods

can we have designated days for each type of recyclables? I know we are not the most friendly with Japan, but we can learn something from their waste disposal. Edited to be politically correct.

Btw my father said that when you throw rubbish into the normal trash cans , they will be checked for recyclebles. Is it true? I am also trying to recycle and i am only 9! I hope everyone starts to recycle and the earth wont be filled with garbage!

What is the best way to build less thrash or no thrash? 🤔🤔🤔

Very Nice! sewage treatment next , please

Singapore's recycling bin mixes all recyclebles together. Instead of hiring people to do most of the sorting, why not have more sorting options so the recyclebles dont get contaminated.

Please we need to do better! Political will needed!

Singapore, such a clean city country

Stopping plastic production = to no need for recycling.

Perdana Wazir!

they are not trash though...

Ewaste Recycle Singapore

I see people throwing cigarette butts into recycling bins and to be honest, idk why they have to do that. No matter how lazy you're, you're causing more harm by wasting those recyclables that people dispose properly + if a fire break out, firemen called out...

need brand new

Do people actually know what is recycling all about or government say recyling than all the people will do recycling Singapore has not reached the recycling stage we need to educate the people about what is recycling all about

Ooooo first

Islam The Beautiful Religion ( Be Just ) Quran 5:8 '' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. '' Quran 4:58 '' Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.'' ( God's The Rules Of War ) Quran 2:190 '' Fight in the way of God THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. '' Quran 2 :193 '' And fight them on until there is no more oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. '' Quran 4:90 ''.........So if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.'' Quran 8:61 ''And if they seek peace, then you also seek it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.'' ( Stand Up For Justice ) Quran 4 :135O '' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against YOURSELVES, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.'' ( Who Are The Good Human Beings? ) Quran 177 '' Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. '' ( Freedom To Believe And To Reject ) Quran 2:256 '' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error '' Quran 10:99 '' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? '' ( Tolerance For Other Religions ) Quran 109: 1- 6 Say,"O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshipers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." ( Protection for Idol Worshiper ) Quran 9:6 "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. " Quran16:125 “Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way” Quran7:199 “Be tolerant, command what’s right, pay no attention to foolish people” ( Friendship With Non Muslims ) Quran 60:8 '' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. '' ( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,->ANY Protecting Friends < One Of Another ) Quran 9:71 ''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.'' Quran16:97 “To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions. Quran 30:21 “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy…” The Prophet Muhammad said, “Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.” ( Human Are One family ) Quran 49:13 " O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." ( All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire ) Quran 30:22 "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge." My comment: The '' BASIC '' message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / animals and in the RETURNED God will reward you with a new life in Paradise. * The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else". * You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice. * No one can force you to become a good human being. * You MUST work HARD to become a good human being. * Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds? * Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you. * '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad. * Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around. * '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven. * So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination. Quran 17:7 " If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss.".

Singapore is horrible at recycling.
