Friedice SG anyone know why they collec tit?..is it for some arts and crafts material for their grandchildren?
sEphIrOth SG its cuz they r old n no one wanna employ them, collecting to recycle willl give them a meagre sum of money to support themselves or their parents/children
Lorry` SG silly.... it's to collect and sell them they dont have a choice not for arts and crafts purpose
Deino SG dumb question. but i shall not critisize you no more and start answering your questions they do it for money. you guys should be grateful they doing that you know. contributing to our environment. they simply collect the metals that we stupidly throw in the dustbin and sell it away for companies to recycle. i dunno if recycling for their environment was part of their cause but otherwise as long as they dun take it to throw at our reservoirs and fields that should be fine lah
Seven_Dragon SG Heard from my neighbour, one can ten cents so ten cans one buck... maybe next time when we old, we also need to collect cans to sell poor thing
Seven_Dragon SG They are better in demonstrating "save the earth" concept better than those sing songs, releasing tons of CO2 during concert but not doing anything...
skid SG your figures sound a little high. scrap aluminum is bought and sold by weight. $1 per pound sounds more likely....and it takes approx. 32 12oz. aluminum cans to = a pound give the elderly the respect they deserve...they're helping keep Singapore clean and they may truly need that little bit of income.
