a day when rubbish didnt smell like rubbish

visited rubbish island today.
for the first time in my life, rubbish didnt stink. yes, it D.I.D.N.T.
in fact, i was sniffin so hard for the slightest tinge of that familiar (eew!) waft that will enter my nostril each time i pass by my void deck's rubbish chute.
nothing.
haha, realised how naive i was to also think i will be steppin on rubbish the moment i land my feet on the island..
anyway, i'm really impressed by how local solid waste is managed, after today. hmm, think i'll be more conscious of the things i throw away from now on..
So, kudos to our waste collectors & workers!

this is where wet ash (treated rubbish) from main land incineration plants are shipped and temporarily stored.






cells where wet ash are filled into - so these are the landfills. According to NEA, we are on our way to fill Cell no. 6, out of 12 cells in total on the island. the cells are expected to be filled up by 2040. wonder wat's gonna happen after that?
