Cycle, Recycle

Nowadays, I do not simply throw away things that I do not want. I sort the unwanted things into a few categories and then send them to recycling centers nearby. Before sending them, the items need to be cleaned, dried, arranged and tied neatly.

The types of recyclables accepted at Alam Flora Recycling Centers are:

Newspaper
Magazines
Cardboard, Boxes Brown Paper
Computer Paper, Black & White A4, A3, A1
Mixed Paper - Books, Comics, Envelopes, Junk Mails, Colour Papers
Beverage Cartons
Aluminium Cans - Soft Drink Cans
Steel, Tin - Food Cans (Sardine), Beverage Cans (Milo), Milk Cans
Glass Bottle, Jar - Food Jars, Beverage Bottle
Mixed Plastic - Shampoo, Detergent & Food Containers, Various Plastic Products
Monitor
Printer
CPU

Recently I just sent one batch of boxes. I must encourage myself to keep this up so here's wishing myself "Happy Recycling!"

    Hey Mun! Well done!! And thanks for sharing the information with Alam Flora. Usually I just drop the items at this place around my area. They come every weekend to collect them. Guess what! I have a paper shredder at home too! Lols! Glad to know that we are all on the same path of doing our bit for Mother Earth. :) Cheers!

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement! Glad to hear all of you are on the same bandwagon too.

    GerryMoon, I have been thinking of getting a paper shredder. Which type are you using - brand name, model? Does it do ribbon, confetti or crisscross cuts?
