Recycling Services FAQs
Do you collect from residentials / households?
We have temporarily suspended all household collections until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
Why is the Ad-Hoc collection a chargeable service?
Ad-hoc collections are chargeable so as to cover for the increased transport and manpower costs.
If your items for collection is less than 300kg, we recommend you to either:
1) Recycle at the commingled blue recycling bins or
2) Bring it down to us for single-stream recycling
- For HDB estates, commingled blue recycling bins are placed in open areas that are convenient and accessible to the residents.
- For private landed estates, a commingled blue recycling bin is provided to each house.
- For industrial areas and offices, you can check if the bin centers are able to handle your recyclables.
This will greatly reduce the carbon footprint incurred from the transportation of your recyclables.
Why is the recycling of office documents / mixed papers chargeable?
Recycling of office documents / mixed papers / carbon paper is chargable due to costs required for sorting the papers, which is labour and time intensive .
Do you provide carton boxes, gunny sacks or recycle bins for the recyclables?
No, we do not provide carton boxes, gunny sacks or recycling bins at the moment. Recyclables have to be removed from shelvings, and have to be boxed, tied or palletized before pickup for ease of removal.
If a recycling bin is preferred, you can purchase a recycling bin from us for your recycling needs.
