About Us


Welcome to Zero Waste Singapore

Zero Waste Singapore is an online community dedicated to help Singapore eliminate the concept of waste and move towards the goal of zero waste.

Our aim is to educate individuals, communities and businesses on Zero Waste and the 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), and to help them take action through useful information, news, tips and resources.

We also support the work of the National Environment Agency, organisations, schools and businesses involved in waste minimisation.

    It’s hard to find a way to reuse items!

    Almost all the charities have stopped accepting used clothes etc as donations, and it’s so easy to be stuck with many items you’ve outgrown, but nobody to give it away to and breathe new life into the goods!

    Is there a listing somewhere of volunteer groups that are stuff accepting such donations? I tried SCWO (said they have too much stuff and are not accepting for now) and Salvation Army (bins often overflowing)…
