Every third Sunday of the month is Tzu Chi's Environmental Sustainability Day. In close to 40 neighbourhoods across the island, Tzu Chi has garnered the support of various Residents' Committees, to transform the void decks of HDB blocks, communal pavilions, activity areas, etc. into temporary eco points. Residents living nearby are invited to bring their recyclable items for sorting and recycling on Environmental Sustainability Day. They are also encouraged to bring their children along to learn about environmental protection.

We warmly invite you and your family to join our ranks of environmental defenders and serve as guardians of Mother Earth!

Metals: metal can
Hardware: copper, bronze , stainless steel, metal parts
Electrical appliances: computer, printer, TV, DVD player, fan, oven, rice cooker, lithium battery

*Please note that the following items are not collected at our eco points:
All plastic items, Polystyrene foam, PVC material, rubber container, furniture, wood product, pottery, aquarium, mirror, pillow, diaper, undergarment, socks

We seek your cooperation in doing some preliminary sorting at home. If the items have been contaminated by oil stains, food residues, etc., kindly please clean them at home before sending them for recycling. In this way, we can prevent cross-contamination with other recyclables, while also safeguard the volunteers doing the sorting work.
