moving house today, clearing my room
old dead pack in a box
estate bin sign got 19 arrows. general rubbish or blue bin?
bin sign got more arrows than my map app sia
neighbour say just leave beside bin lah
no leh. not general rubbish, not blue bin
ask maker or authorised service how to dispose
Moving day, bin sign also blur
Paiseh but moving-house day, room half empty, old dead pack sitting in a box marked “misc”. Estate bin signs got arrows pointing every direction and sequel coming next week energy. One arrow says general rubbish, one points at the blue recycling bin, one looks like it leads into the future. None of that tells you where the pack goes. Don’t put it in either bin; ask the maker or authorised service provider how to dispose of it.
Siao ah, cannot leave it beside the bin lah. Don’t leave it there or open it to make it smaller. A dead pack still isn’t general rubbish and doesn’t go in the blue recycling bin. Ask the maker or authorised service provider how to dispose of it. If it’s damaged, hot or leaking, don’t ride with it, courier it or carry it to a shop; ask the maker or authorised service first.
Get the disposal answer first
Steady, if you can’t identify the maker, ask an authorised service provider how to dispose of the pack.
If the pack is damaged, hot or leaking, don’t ride with it, courier it or carry it to a shop; ask first how to handle it. No bin-side drop-off, no shrinking project.
bin sign got sequel. pack still needs disposal answer
