Some of you would have noticed the issue with the reorganisation of the bins in the neighbourhood. Here is the update from the Town Council:
To discourage residents from dumping their refuse at 5 foot way and shop front, we have worked closely with NEA and ceased putting bins at 5 foot way and shop front. 3 summons were issued by NEA to residents for not disposing their refuse into bins being provided at back lane.
To encourage eating outlets to co-operate with us, new bins will be provided by public waste collector this week to the eating establishemnts in Pre-war estate. To prevent infestation of pest, shop tenants are required to cart their trade refuse in the bin to the bin centre opposite Blk 75 Tiong Poh Road daily.
For residential units, we will respond to any request for provison of bin for disposal of domestic refuse. The bin must be placed at the back lane of their units. Please contact Eric Soh of the Town Council at 64119418 if you need a bin of your own.
Lets all cooperate to make the estate a cleaner and more hygienic place for all of us! Please inform your help, your family, your tenants, about the new arrangement.
And there is nothing like social pressure - it would be good and right if you were to politely remind people you see, who are still leaving the rubbish bags, along the backlanes, that it is not the right thing to do. :)

I think the town council must inform everyone before they remove the bins.
ReplyDeleteI had an expat who was moving out last Friday and he threw everything at the location where the bins used to be.
When I point it out to him, he told me he thought someone stole the bins and someone will bring the bins back.
