I like going to Ikea because they provide recycling bins for us to "dispose" of our unwanted items.
Items such as paper, batteries, light bulbs, light tubes ...
... plastic bottles, plastic bags and aluminium cans. Where do you throw your used batteries and light bulbs?
I love going to IKEA to look at their furniture, my Computer Table is from IKEA
ReplyDeletegood ikea customer!
DeleteCare for environment is a good deed, thumbs up!
DeleteWe have recycling bins in our neighbourhood but I think all mis-used by the residents by treating them like normal bins
i wonder why they misuse it. maybe they are not aware that the bins are recycle bins.
DeleteWow! You woke me up about their many recycle bins that could serve my needs. I am into serious recycling too after seeing how the Americans, Japanese and Taiwanese live. Next time I will bring other items there to dispose.
ReplyDeleteI live very close to IKEA @ Damansara and love to eat their ice cream & hot curry puffs besides walking around to see their displays without buying much. Kinda window shopping for ideas. I think I have 20 bars of IKEA chocolates in my fridge which were given by my Swedish BIL who brought them from Stockholm. This post reminded me to do so many things & TQ! LOL
so nice to live so near to ikea.
DeleteI think many places also have gua? My family, as far as I know, they take these stuff straight to one of those recycling centers at Taman Yulek...
ReplyDeleteyes many places also have recycling for newspapers, papers and plastic bottles but not many recycling places accept used batteries and used light bulbs.
DeleteDouble thumbs up!!!
ReplyDeleteright!
DeleteNo IKEA in Ipoh. I normally send to those collection centre in my area.
ReplyDeletedo they accept used batteries and used light bulbs?
DeleteIf only IPOH has IKEA.... Every Sunday there is a man collecting unwanted goods.. so normally I pass the usable things to him... unwanted ones go into the dustbin..
ReplyDeletehopefully ikea will open in ipoh.
DeleteThere was a time when there were two recycling bins placed in Damasara Uptown to collect used batteries and paper/plastic. That's where I used to throw my used batteries. Unfortunately, some irresponsible people started using the bins like ordinary rubbish bins. Soon after, those bins were removed :(
ReplyDeleteawareness is really low here. people are not aware enough about recycling.
DeleteYes, I drop mine at IKEA too. Batteries are harmful if disposed recklessly.
ReplyDeletethat is why I am so happy to see ikea collecting batteries for proper disposal.
DeleteWe only recycle the plastic, paper and metal. The batteries wrap and throw cos don't see anywhere to recycle.
ReplyDeletenot many places accept used batteries.
Deletei REALLY wish we can see something like this here too
ReplyDeletei wish there are more places like this here.
DeleteI know there are companies/stores that buy them from you. It's important to dispose these things properly because the atmosphere will suffer, ergo, we will suffer if we don't.
ReplyDeleteneed to increase awareness about the suffering.
DeleteI wonder if this trash separation system is working. Whether what ends up in the respective bins can really be used for recycling.
ReplyDeletehahaha it depends on what people put into the respective bins.
