While in New York, I was staying at a serviced apartment that had no recycling system what so ever nor were there any recycling bins anywhere near the building. Each time I threw an aluminum can or plastic bottle in the trash, I couldn't help but feel a little recycle guilt. So for 2012 I've decided to be more diligent about recycling. This is the system I have going in my house now:
So here's a typical piece of garbage. I was hanging art in my house today and this was the packaging for the hooks. One piece cardboard, one piece plastic.
Separate the plastic from the paper.
This is my recycle bin. For some reason no one recycles glass in Hong Kong so it's just paper, plastic and metal.
When the bins get full I take them out to the main recycling bins of my housing complex.
Simple and easy and it only takes a few seconds. Send me some of your best recycle tips!

在紐約那陣子,我住在一套酒店式公寓裏,裏面沒有廢品回收系統,而且大樓附近也看不到任何廢品回收箱。每次我把一個鋁罐或塑料瓶什麽的丟進垃圾筒時,都不禁為未能循環利用它們而感歉疚。所以我決定在2012年更加努力地進行廢品回收。下面是我家裏現在采用的回收方法:
這是很典型的一種生活廢品:今天我在屋裏掛畫,這個是掛鉤的包裝,包括一片硬紙板和一塊塑料。
這是我家的廢品回收箱。出於某種原因,在香港玻璃並不加以回收,所以回收箱只分三類:紙、塑料和金屬。
回收箱裝滿後,我就把它們拿出去倒進我們綜合住宅區的總回收箱裏。舉手之勞,費時無多。告訴我你們最好的廢品回收秘招吧!| 在纽约那阵子,我住在一套酒店式公寓里,里面没有废品回收系统,而且大楼附近也看不到任何废品回收箱。每次我把一个铝罐或塑料瓶什么的丢进垃圾筒时,都不禁为未能循环利用它们而感歉疚。所以我决定在2012年更加努力地进行废品回收。下面是我家里现在采用的回收方法:
