If you have heavy stacks of notes you want to recycle or any unwanted clothes, you can place it in the bins placed near you for your convenience! Do you know that if those are thrown into the recycling bins, you would be making a small difference to this Planet?
There are plenty of facts out there on why recycling is important. The world population is growing, not shrinking, and currently each human being add significant amount of waste to the planet over his or her lifetime. In Singapore, the Semakau Landfill (the only landfill in Singapore) would be completely filled by 2045 if we do not recycle more diligently from now on.
YOU can make a difference today!
Look out for the Recycling Drive by Earthlink NTU from 9th Nov to 7th Dec. The Big Green Bins are located in all of the Hall of Residences just for you. Now, inconvenience no longer needs to be an excuse for not recycling.
Besides this, we are also holding a door-to-door collection on the 5th Dec and 6th Dec, from 10 am to 4pm. All recyclables, including plastics, glassware, paper, metal cans and clothes are accepted.
Recycle today for a better tomorrow. Join us in our conquest to make a difference and conserve the environment!
