  • The workers need to wear masks to prevente occupational exposures to fungi, dust and other allergens that could be dangerous

    We have a lot of these bins in Msia mainly in cities, and I usually send my old clothes, bag, shoes, and many more when I do spring cleaning at my house. I am seriously glad that these factory exists, and it actually make me happy that I somewhat donate my items for good use later on. I also joined their telegram group to keep up with their new programs etc. But, of course seeing boxes of my family's unused or broken items, make me think throughly when I buy new things. My advice is that, when you attracted to something and want to buy it, wait for 3 days and if after 3 days you still thinking of it as necessities and regret not buying, then buy it. I avoid impulse buying by using this method hahaha

    Australia has a similar concept called Upparel. Nothing gets sent overseas. Small cost to recycle. Great initiative.
  • I just recycled a few kilos of clothes a few days ago. What a nice coincidence to learn what happens to some recycled clothes!

    Delighted when such a bin for paper is available at my block. Now I need this yellow bin in Punggol. I will travel to Sengkang for it too! The thing about these bins is they are sometimes full when I lug my recyclables there so must try to check percentage filled before making the trip.
  • @bobafett5757

    Awesome job. I am glad, my effort pay off for me travelled on the way to Hougang just to dispose of my clothing into the yellow bin. Good job.
  • @shandell279
    Wow, thank you for this. I would love to reach out to this organization because this is what we all should be doing. It's disturbing to see how wasteful we are, but I'm so grateful to see that some countries actually help the people and the land. To all the workers, much respect, and to whoever covered this story, thank you 😊 Peace unto you.
  • This is great...but let's all buy only what you need. Buy well made clothes that can last and cut down on cheap fashion that cannot be recycled at all
  • Good effort. The government shud enforce more in recycling. 👍🏻
  • @nikkikhooniqi
    After these are resold to the poorer nations, they will still eventually end up in the landfills, ELSEWHERE.
  • May Allah bless you for this effort of saving the environment 👍
