Do you segregate your garbage?? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)1 month ago

Do you know that we have to segregate our trash from non-biodegradable from biodegradable?? Are you aware of that??

I do think people are aware of this but why are we not following this?? I've seen a lot of people at the mall or elsewhere, if they eat something like juice or anything they tend to throw it anywhere without reading the label of the trash on where it is suppose to be thrown...I tend to be angry on this one (sorry about that)...


How about you guys?? And what do you think about those people??

We have to sort our rubbish by law. There was even talk of using street security cameras to spy on householders to make sure they do.

Sadly, due to the downturn in the world economy, China is no longer taking all our re-cycled material so a lot of it is just going into big holes in the ground as before.

As for morons that litter the streets, they don't care if there is writing to read or not. They just throw it anywhere for others to pick up.

Ow, so sad to hear about that. Maybe it would be better if those can be recycled will be recycled, but then sad to say about your situation. I don't know either in my country but I think we are practicing recycle since we have 2 trash can, that's for non-biodegradable and for biodegradable....Hopefully, people will be responsible..


myLot reputation of 87/100. smacksman (3812)  1 month ago

Anything we have that is bio-degradable we put on our compost heap in the garden and then after two years it has degraded and goes onto the garden as compost. Nothing like that is wasted.

We put out bins for glass, clean plastic, paper and aluminium cans. Finally, a small bag of general rubbish.

That's great. It is a great way to help our environment. And it would be so cool if people will do that... happyhappy

In Malaysia, they do not provide the separate bins to
segregate trash from non-biodegradable from biodegradable.
So, no choice! However, certain malls have those recycle
bins for plastic, glass bottles, papers & aluminium cans.
I noticed people do adhere to it.

If this trash bin available here, people should be educated
on this, for the benefit of everyone. For the environment too!

There is one occasion recently, I saw 2 guys put the used
paper cup in the 'car jockey' drawer in front of a hotel.
So, in this case, we can't expect this people to adhere
this practice..-sigh-


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)  1 month ago

Ow, that's another story since you don't have separate bins. In here in our country, we do have separate bins, we have also 2 bins in some jeepneys(mode of transportation)...I think it's in our law. If people will be educated by it and people will practice it, then people might be responsible...

yeah, i segregate my garbage for instant those things which easily decay are label as inorganic while those perishable items are label as organic. nd i have separate receptacles for bottles, plastic, cans and even old newspapers and magazines then I sold it every end of the month. It is one way to earn from our garbage aside from the cleaning one do to her surrounding makes every mind of the settlers happy as the annoying scenes is remove making the places smelling clean.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)  1 month ago

That's great. It's a way of helping mother earth as well as you can earn money with those newspapers. We don't have a lot of newspapers at home since my parents use it in our store...Hopefully, people tend to segregate like you do,...

Hello joannaleed. I do segregate garbage. I think that it is a good habit of ours if we do so. When it is related to something that can be recycled, I place them into a plastic bag for them to get recycled, such as plastic bottles and cans, etc.


myLot reputation of 99/100. joannaleed (1129)  3 weeks ago

It's nice to know that you recycle. That you do care of our environment. Just keep it up... happy
