Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 4: Hany Soh on contamination in recycling bins
Items containing food and liquid waste, as well as non-recyclable items like used shoes and textiles, are frequently being disposed of in recycling bins. What more can be done to reduce contamination of recyclables in the blue bins? MP Hany Soh raised this question in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 1). She noted that people are not required to sort their waste in Singapore but this increases the likelihood of recyclables being contaminated. She suggested setting up more active recycling points to empower the public to put in the effort to segregate waste.
