Do you recycle often? (If yes, how often? If no, why not?) amdljyy https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359308570 -Recycle on a daily basis, like paper and plastic in recycling bin.

-No. I do not have many known recycle bins around my neighbourhood and I don't have the habit to do so
 
-Yes, i recycle very often.

-No, I don’t recycle often because everything I throw away at home is just in a single thrash bin so it’s much easier to take the trash out and our family doesn’t take a conscious effort to separate the recyclables from the not recyclables.

Do you recycle them or do you just keep them at home? amdljyy https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359309906 -Have the tendency to keep to use as spare phones or pass down old handphones. Otherwise, trade in

-Keep the old handphones

- I will just keep them at home or sell to the garang guni

-I will keep the old handphones at home.

- Old handphones? I keep them in a drawer at home just in case my current phone spoils and I need a spare phone. But those antique phones like my Nokia or LG from like 10 years ago all already throw away. ]]> 2019-05-13 02:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359309906 4. What about old/spoilt chargers, earpiece etc? Do you throw them away? What do you do with them? zendoraemons https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359309922 -Have the tendency to throw away things that are no longer in working condition

- I will just throw them away with general waste

-I don't throw them away. Instead, I would bring it to recycle bin or maybe bring it to the 'cash converter' shop to sell it.

-  Since they’re already spoilt and I cannot reuse them anymore, I normally throw them away along with the other garbage. There’s no point keeping them if I have to use for it anymore. ]]> 2019-05-13 02:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359309922 5. Have you ever done or thought of recycling your mobile phones or any mobile accessories? If yes, how often? If no, why not? (Don’t know about it? Don’t know where to recycle them? Want to keep the old phone? Trade in at phone shops? No time? Lazy?) limzeeyan https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310185 - No, I have never thought about recycling my used electronic devices. The thought of it never crossed my mind. I would not know where to recycle them as well.

-no, I do not recycle any accessories except for my phone which i keep at home, I throw them away.
 I never thought of recycling my old accessories.

- No I have not really thought about it. It’s more rare for people to recycle their electronics than it is to recycle normal things like newspaper, plastic bottles, etc. And since I don’t even recycle those normal things, I wont even have the thought of recycling my electronic stuffs. Furthermore I don’t know much about E recycling too. 

-No, because I want to keep the olr phone so that when I bring my current phone for service repair, I can use those one of those handphones as a spare handphone to contact my friends and family.

Schools, Around your neighbourhood) What do you think about the places that the bins are placed at? (Eg. Hard to notice, Not visible etc.) zhenglong1701 https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310542 -Yes, I have seen an E-waste recycling bin before. I think the bins are placed at locations like community clubs and at trash bin points at shopping malls. NLB does have the e-waste recycling bin.

-No, I don't think I have seen one before.

-Yes, around my neighbourhood and near my school (SP). They are generally placed at places which are noticeable. However, it is not being used because they are skeptical and unaware of the process.

- I think the e-waste recycling bins in singapore are hard to notice as I have never seen them before. 

- Yes, I have seen them around, But very rarely. It’s not a common sight and I think that’s why Singaporeans in general don’t have a good knowledge about E recycling. I have seen it in ONE shopping mall, and in my secondary school. Its normally tucked away in a corner and not really visible. ]]> 2019-05-13 02:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310542 8. What can be done to motivate or encourage you to recycle your mobile phones and accessories? (Eg. Rewards, Loyalty systems, Advertising posters/videos/campaigns?) amdljyy https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310551 - Having campaigns and posters to explain the benefits and process(create video) of e-recycling as well as social media. (Educating and spreading awareness is most important)

- A machine similar to a vending machine that dispenses drinks or rewards in exchange for old electronic devices.  There are existing machines like this but for plastic bottles.

-Yeah I think through instagram, TV advertising would help. Motivate me.

-Rewards can be done to motivate me to recycle. For example, in other countries, there's an E-waste recycling machine that recycles phones but in return, the system rewards all the users who recycle with money.

- Maybe like points to collect ad can exchange for things like NTUC vouchers? Also maybe those interesting advertisements to promote E recycling? ]]> 2019-05-13 02:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310551 9.Do you think that the government is doing enough to encourage E-recycling, particularly mobile phones and accessories recycling in general? limzeeyan https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310603 - Nope. I do not see it being promoted or maybe just not wide enough or on the right platform
-Yes to recycling in general, but not so much of e-recycling

-I have seen Recycling bins for general waste around Singapore before, They are noticeable. For mobile phones and accessories recycling, the government does not seem to be doing enough.

-I don't think they are doing enough.

-Um, no? I don’t really know or heard of any initiatives that the government organised to promote E recycling at all.

If yes, what are they? zendoraemons https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310605 - I do not know any benefits of recycling my mobile phones and accessories. 

- Lesser electronic waste?

-Did a project on environmental waste before and she knows that materials such as mobile phones and accessories are harmful to the environment, and cause pollution and recycling helps to reduce the need of mining limited material from the earth, which will have an impact on the environment

-Honestly, I have no idea. I know recycling the newspapers, plastic bottles all are beneficial to the environment as you can reuse it but I don’t know what benefits can recycling my electronics bring about. ]]> 2019-05-13 02:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310605 10. Are you aware of the NEA’s recycling programs? limzeeyan https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310755 - No
-Not sure of the details, but have seen of e-recycling bins being placed around

-No, not even on tv. 

-No, I'm not.

-No, I have not heard of it. 

]]> 2019-05-13 02:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359310755 11. What do you think can be done to help NEA to promote the message of E-recycling to people around us to encourage them to join us on e-waste management? limzeeyan https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359311811 - Online advertisements on platforms like Instagram or YouTube etc.

-By creating a Instagram Page about your message about E-recycling can help people around us to encourage them about e-waste management. This kind of encouragement may be able to spread awareness to help NEA to promote their program.

-They could promote the message on social media to get teens started with E-waste management. I also feel like they could go around primary schools to educate them, it’s better to start from young! Then it will be easier for kids to build up the habit.

-They can promote via instagram, go to people’s houses and tell them more about this scheme and tell them more about recycling. The benefits of recycling e-waste. They should go the extra mile. ]]> 2019-05-13 03:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359311811 Conclusion limzeeyan https://padlet.com/amdljyy/q0a211ewekyb/wish/359312304 1.  Students will always keep their phones as spare phone or trade in for cash or to buy a new phone.
2. Very little people know about e-recycling and very few people know about where the e-recycling bins are located at
3. Many students say that NEA should advertise more to ensure that more people are aware of e-recycling
