Warm regards Albert Da Cruz Perth Western Australia. From: Ashley Delaney Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 3:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SALIGAONET] Recycling solutions in Saligao Dear Friends Since many keep on asking me about the known recycling options in saligao, I thought I would put it together in one place. remember - recycling works effectively when segregation is followed! Plastics All types of plastics are accepted at any of the scrap yards in and around saligao. saligao itself plays host to about 5 scrapyards! please keep them in a separate plastic bag/bin designated for this purpose at your residence, and hand it over when full. some of the known scrapyards are in grandemorod (2), sonarbhat-cotla (1) & nigvaddo (1) Paper and cardboard accepted at any of the scrap yards in and around saligao. please keep them in a separate box /bin designated for this purpose at your residence, and hand it over when full. Glass - broken or intact Accepted for recycling at the scrap yard in Grande - morod, just opposite to the European School in the fields. Tetra packs Tetra packs are the juice / milk cartons that are commonly used in day to day life. people wanting to give these for recycling are requested to remove the plastic straws / caps that are with the packs and put them separately in your plastic bins. The flattened tetra packs can then be dropped off, for recycling, in a box which has been kept for this purpose at the garage of the Delaney residence in Abreovaddo. ph: Ashley 9823118321 for details E-Waste Saligao plays host to Goas first and only E-waste recycling center at Group Tenplus, Abreovaddo, Saligao. (at the back of the Delaney residence). Old and non working electronics like stereos, computers , circuit boards are accepted here from ALL over goa. more info, and a complete list of about 100 items of ewaste accepted here is available at www.grouptenplus.com or phone Ashley 9823118321 for details. P.S: it is now a law effected from 1st May 2012 that everyone has to give their E-waste for recycling - its called the E-waste management and handling rules 2011. Composting Many Saligaokars have good composting pits and are involved in composting their bio-degradable wet waste. people with at least a 2x2 meters free space in their gardens are advised to build a composting pit, or buy a plastic ready made container. Ready made recycled plastic composting bins are available from www.shaktiindia.com Information about composting solutions whatever type - EM, vermicomposting ... can be found from people who have been activity involved in doing so like Nicholas Sequira - (sonarbhat) ; Mario Mascarenhas - (sonarbhat) or Ambrose vaz (dmellovaddo). recommended for generating good fertilizer and therefore becoming less dependant on harmful chemicals Tubelights, CFL's & Batteries While is it E-waste, These are some of the most hazardous items known as they are easily breakable; and practically just one company in Goa to recycle it. do you know that there is a cost involved to recycle these 2 items? recycling costs almost double that of a new battery!. Currently In Goa only corporates & manufacturing units follow this recycling , BUT until the government comes out with a solution of subsiding this recycling AND the producers make it a part of their EPR as mandated by the e-waste management rules, people are requested to please STORE these items and do NOT throw them out. Tubelights - if they break or develop leaks - it could be dangerous to get in contact with the mercury. keep it in a cardboard or corrugated box safely in a corner of your residence where it will not break. Batteries : - keep used battries in a glass bottle OR a hard plastic bottle designated for this purpose only. where it can be stored and handed over to a company for recycling in the near future. for more information contact Goacan [email protected] or [email protected] I am requesting one and all to please publicise all these recycling solutions to your friends and neighbors - word of mouth helps!. especially when it comes to recycling of Tetra-packs and E-waste which are not commonly known or perceived as waste. It is also important to educate people about the difference between reusing and recycling eg: - we re-use a discarded water bottle as a flower pot. we give it for recycling to be converted back into virgin plastic to be used again in the manufacturing process.
