Tips before you go
- Call ahead. Hours can change, especially on public holidays. A quick phone call saves a wasted trip.
- Sort before you go. Separate paper, plastic, metal, and glass into different bags. Most centres won’t accept mixed bags, and sorted recyclables fetch better prices.
- Clean your recyclables. Rinse containers and dry them. Contaminated items (food residue, grease) get rejected. Our recycling beginner’s guide explains what “clean” actually means.
- Flatten your cardboard. It saves boot space and the recycling centre will appreciate it.
- Match materials to centres. Paper specialists won’t take your scrap metal. Metal yards won’t take your Shopee boxes. Check what each centre accepts before loading your car.
- Bring your IC for payments. Some centres pay cash on the spot, others transfer to your bank account. Having your IC (MyKad) makes the process smoother.
