Understanding Collection Fee for Small Volume Recyclables (Below 500kg)
At Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd (GHS), we’ve always been committed to providing top-quality waste management and recycling services to our community. Our goal is to ensure that every recyclable material we collect is processed efficiently and sustainably, contributing to a cleaner and greener Singapore. To continue offering this level of service, we have implemented a collection fee for small volume recyclable collections below 500kg.
We understand that fees can be a concern, and we want to be transparent about why this fee exists and how it benefits both you and the broader community.
Why Is There a Collection Fee?
1. Rising Operational Costs
The cost of recycling has been steadily increasing, particularly in the areas of manpower and petrol. These costs are essential to ensuring that our services remain reliable and that our team is equipped to handle recyclables efficiently. By introducing a collection fee, we can cover these rising costs and maintain the high standards you expect from GHS.
2. No Recycling Rebates for Small Volumes
For smaller volumes of recyclables (below 500kg), there are no rebates available. This means that the costs of collecting and processing smaller amounts are not offset by financial incentives. Because of this, we need to charge a collection fee to cover the expenses involved and ensure we can continue offering our services.
3. Ensuring Quality and Sustainability
Quality and sustainability are at the core of our operations. Properly sorting, processing, and transporting recyclables requires significant resources. The collection fee will help us continue to deliver these services effectively, ensuring that all materials are handled in the most environmentally friendly manner.
4. Supporting Long-Term Environmental Goals
Our commitment to environmental sustainability goes beyond simple waste collection. The collection fee will enable us to continue our efforts to reduce waste, lower carbon emissions, and conserve resources, all of which are vital to Singapore’s long-term environmental goals.
What Does the Fee Cover?
The new collection fee is straightforward and designed to cover the following:
- Collection and Transportation: Ensuring that recyclables are efficiently picked up and transported to our processing facilities.
- Manpower Costs: Supporting our dedicated workforce who are crucial to maintaining the quality of our recycling services.
- Petrol Costs: Covering the increasing fuel costs necessary to operate our fleet of collection vehicles.
- Operational Efficiency: Investing in the latest technologies and practices to keep our recycling services efficient and sustainable.
Free Pick-Ups for Larger Collections with Rebates
For customers with larger collections of recyclables (above 500kg), we’re pleased to continue offering free pick-up services along with rebates on the recyclables. This is part of our commitment to encourage more efficient recycling practices and support our customers in maximizing the value of their recyclables. By consolidating your recyclables, you can benefit from both free pick-ups and rebates, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
How Will This Affect You?
If you’re a customer with small volume recyclable collections below 500kg:
- The Fee: The collection fee will start from a minimum of $90/trip before gst. This fee helps us cover the increased costs of manpower and petrol, ensuring that we can continue to provide the high-quality service you expect from GHS.
- Options for Larger Collections: If you have the capacity to consolidate your recyclables to exceed 500kg per trip, you can enjoy free pick-up services and qualify for rebates on your recyclables. This not only helps you save on costs but also maximizes the value you receive.
- No Recycling Rebates for Small Volumes: Unlike larger volumes, small collections do not qualify for any rebates. This is why the collection fee is necessary to cover the costs of our services.
- No Hidden Charges: We believe in full transparency, so there will be no hidden fees or surprise costs. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
