Recycling made easier with more recycling bins at HDB estates

It is now even easier to get into the recycling act - the National Environment Agency plans to have one recycling station within every five blocks of flats by year's end. There are already 1120 such stations installed at HDB estates. Another 480 will be installed by the end of the year. Recycling bins are placed at strategic locations such as playgrounds and walkways, where they are highly visible to the public and easily accessible.

Household recycling in Singapore has been steadily gaining momentum. In 2005, the number of households recycling was 56%, up from 15% in 2001. Singapore hopes to achieve a recycling rate of 60% by 2012.
