Trash Lucky
Testimony: Wanted to give a shout-out to Trash Lucky . I had a collection of cardboard boxes (lazada, shoeboxes, appliance cartons etc) and couldn't carry them to Tesco and other drop off points due to lack of transportation. So I was looking for a pickup service for them.
Anne Somanas gave me the lead to their FB page. They were very professional, immediately gave me a pickup slot basis my location. On the day of the pickup they gave me a call to reconfirm my slot and the driver contacted me 30 mins in advance so that I could move all my boxes to the lobby. It was a no mess and no contact transfer.
Checkout their FB and Line page @trashlucky for further details.

Composting Cardboard
Certain cardboard can be broken down and cut into small pieces for compost. Coated cardboard, cannot be used for compost, but uncoated without labels can.
Testimony: I would like to pass on some information about paper composting from my experience.
What's for recycling and what's for composting?
Uncoated cardboard that is not shiny with no heavy dyes can be composted
Shiny cardboard is coated in plastic and it can’t be composted
Make sure the uncoated cardboard is free from tape or labels. Tape and labels are also not compostable.
Newspaper and other paper is safe to use as mulch or in compost.
Thanks for reading!
