The large blue ones are for recycling, and the big green ones are for regular household garbage. So take a walk around the block or ask around for the big blue bin \u2013 we bet it\u2019s nearby. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gowhere.gov.sg\/bloobox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">collect your own blue recycling box<\/a> and start recycling at home.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from everyday waste such as plastics that are marked with the recyclable symbol, glass and paper, appliances, e-waste and batteries need to be dealt with responsibly, too. Don\u2019t worry, we&#8217;ll let you in on how to handle these.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be clear about the difference between recycling waste and giving a second life to goods you no longer need. Got unwanted outfits, furniture and stuff in good condition? Do the sustainable thing and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/give-away-unwanted-stuff-free-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">give them away<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/where-to-donate-clothes-books-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donate to charity<\/a>. Trust us, it\u2019s better to pass things on to someone in need than treat them as waste. Now, back to our recycling mission&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>8 ways to recycle in Singapore<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Purge your house of plastics<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-shampoos-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shampoo<\/a> bottles, milk jugs, ready-to-cook spices, pre-packed produce\u2026 it\u2019s hard not to notice all the plastic we bring home. Think you can toss &#8217;em into the recycling bin? Nope &lt;insert dramatic plot twist music&gt;. These disposable plates and straws, plastic film food packets, and styrofoam takeaway containers can&#8217;t be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>But, detergent bottles, plastic bags, body wash bottles and the like are blue bin-worthy if they\u2019re marked with the famous triangle symbol that indicates they&#8217;re recyclable plastic. So take a second to check first! Be sure to give them a nice rinse before the toss. Perfectly good recyclable things are often discarded if they\u2019re contaminated with food and liquids. If you wear contact lenses, you can collect the plastic blisters and pass them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twooak.com\/2x2faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Two of A Kind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know how much plastic you accumulate, it might be a good time to switch to Earth-friendly alternatives. The eco-movement of recycling in Singapore has us mighty excited \u2013 zero-waste <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/zero-waste-groceries-bulk-stores-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grocery stores<\/a> like Unpackt encourage you to bring your own containers. Plus, ethical concept stores like <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/social-space-cafe-store-social-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Social Space<\/a> offer refill stations for cleaning products.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Get rid of glass bottles and cans<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237336\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237336\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237336 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-blue-bin-900x643.png\" alt=\"Recycling in Singpaore | Blue bins\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-blue-bin-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-blue-bin-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-blue-bin.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Go green with these blue bins. Photography: Sigmund via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Almost all kinds of glass bottles and metal can be saved up and left in the blue recycling bin. Just make sure to give &#8217;em a good wash. From kaya jam jars to tuna tins, they&#8217;re all recyclable. Ceramics (like teacups and mugs), mirrors and windows should be disposed of in regular green bins in your complex. And light bulbs? They&#8217;re e-waste. They don\u2019t belong in the blue recycling bins. Oh, and if your beauty regime is turning wastefully ugly, sort it out with <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/plastic-free-skincare-sustainable-zero-waste-beauty-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plastic-free beauty swaps<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. What to do with appliances, e-waste and batteries<\/h3>\n<p>Confession: we love our tech. If you\u2019re anything like us, you too might have a drawer filled with old broken gizmos and other e-waste. We&#8217;re talking about first-gen iPod relics, dusty PS2 consoles, old rechargeable batteries and frayed cables. Want to contribute to the tech side of recycling in Singapore? Drop off your broken gadgets and phones with StarHub&#8217;s Renew (Recycling Nation&#8217;s Electronic Waste) Programme. Or bring small household appliances to City Square Mall&#8217;s E-Waste Recycling Programme. You can also leave used light bulbs at the lighting department of any Ikea store.<\/p>\n<p>What about batteries? Singapore doesn\u2019t have a facility to recycle alkaline batteries. But in 1992, restrictions were imposed on batteries that exceeded the stipulated mercury content. So those bought in Singapore can be discarded with regular household waste to be treated at the waste-to-energy incineration plants. Keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/data.gov.sg\/dataset\/e-waste-recycling?resource_id=95b95773-8c29-4a32-a9e1-461e622bf092\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Environment Agency&#8217;s map<\/a> handy when you&#8217;re planning to recycle e-waste.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Toss that paper<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_237335\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237335\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-237335 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-chuttersnap-900x643.png\" alt=\"Recycling in Singapore | Cardboard boxes\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-chuttersnap-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-chuttersnap-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/07\/recycling-in-singapore-chuttersnap.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237335\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make a beeline for the blue bin. Photography: Chuttersnap via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Magazines, flyers, old study books, cereal cartons, cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls \u2013 save these for a bi-weekly trip to the blue bin in your block. But like plastic, some paper waste may not belong there. Tissue paper, paper towels (swap them for washable cloths) and disposable plates and cups can go into the regular green bin.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Heard of the rag-and-bone man?<\/h3>\n<p>Ask around for the <em>karang guni <\/em>aka the rag-and-bone guys. If you hear their distinctive horns on the street, flag them down. They&#8217;ll come over to buy paper, cans, e-waste and other junk from your house. These will be resold to waste recycling companies or secondhand dealers.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Give your furniture and home goods a second life<\/h3>\n<p>Got furniture and large appliances in good condition but no longer need &#8217;em? Don&#8217;t leave them in the void deck or designated disposal area. That means you\u2019re sending them straight to the incinerator.<\/p>\n<p>The first step? Give away goods. Chances are, someone who needs it will snap it up.
