Recycling Bins to Complement Rubbish Bins in Public Parks

Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for National Development whether NParks will consider introducing recycling bins to complement the rubbish bins in all public parks which are run by NParks so as to reduce the amount of recyclable waste which are currently thrown into rubbish bins.

The National Parks Board (NParks) has already introduced recycling bins in some parks and gardens, such as HortPark, Jurong Lake Gardens and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. NParks and the National Environment Agency will explore further measures to encourage recycling in other public parks.
