I’m used to separating my trash. Recyclables, non-recyclables, never greens because I don’t dig gardens. It came as a surprise to me that here in Malaysia, recycling is not compulsory, and all trash just hits the landfills.<\/p>\n

I am however, pleased to say that for the last couple of months, the trash has been separated. Not only has in been separated, its been mounting in the back yard, needing attention. <\/p>\n

I gave it its due attention today. Behold, the PJ Recycling Centre<\/a> (thanks to @nazroll from Twitter).<\/p>\n

All the newspapers, plastic containers\/bottles, aluminium drink cans. All recycled! And you know what’s amusing? Its not free. They pay<\/b> you to take away your trash! A trunk load of newspapers, and 3 bags of cans and bottles, garnered me RM38. You’d dream of the city council in Victoria paying you for trash ;)<\/p>\n

They however, don’t take glass bottles<\/b>. Does anyone know how I can recycle glass? Typically, I have quite a bit of it – think used Scotch, wine, and champagne bottles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
