Were you ever bothered by the old stuff and scrap lying around your house and room because you didn’t know what to do with them?
Don’t worry! I have the perfect solution to that.
The solution to your problem is… RECYCLING CENTERS.
Instead of just throwing everything into the trash or just let it pile up in your home, why not just send them off to places where they’ll be of use?
Whether they’re old computers, empty ink cartridges, used plastic and glass bottles and even scrap papers, they’re all recyclable and have a place to welcome them home.
These recyclable materials can be used to create new products or be used to create similar products at a reduced costs and lesser accumulation of wastes/trash.
On top of that, most recycling centres pay YOU for depositing and donating these recyclable materials.
What more can you ask for? You help save the environment and get paid for it. *ka-ching*
To make your lives less complicated, we’ll provide you with a list of some of the recycling centers in the Metro, together with the materials they accept.
Get your pen and paper ready and list them down or better yet, just take a snapshot of it. You save paper 😉
