When I started the habit of recycling years back, I just chucked what I thought were recyclables into the recycling bin. Much later, I learned that 40% of the items in the recycling bins cannot be recycled due to contamination by food and liquid waste. I realised I could have done more harm than good 😱 Thankfully, I've picked up some simple habits since, making recycling a breeze. Many of us da bao food (takeaways) very often. This is how I use the “Check, Clean, Recycle” mantra to help. Check - Check if your item can be recycled using the Recycling Search Engine. (go.gov/recycleright) Clean - Clear food remnants and drain off beverage contents. Usually, a rinse with water will do the trick. If it’s still oily after rinsing, discard it instead. Recycle - Finally place the clean recyclables into Bloobox and recycle them in the Bloobin at your estate. All done! Now that you know more, test your knowledge at go.gov.sg/TreatBloobinBetter and stand a chance to win a Grab voucher. @cleanandgreensg #TreatBloobinBetter #RecycleRight #SGGreenPlan
