Disposal of used items
IN SINGAPORE
When there is something which is unwanted, you can just sell it to the Garang guni man that “patrol” around the neighborhood, who will sounds a bell while on the patrol. The Garang guni man will then examine the used items and will offers you an unexpectedly low price for the goods, which in most of the case we will accept as the used items means not value to us anymore. Perhaps a dollar or two.
IN JAPAN
The scenes are quite different as compared to Singapore. Japan has a set of recycle laws that prohibits it people from throwing off used items unnecessary, especially on electrical appliances. Instead of getting paid for your used items, you would have to pay certain amount of money, considerable high to get rid of it. For instance, a 60cm x 60cm x 60cm mini refrigerator would cost around 2,500 yen to be disposed, while the refrigerators alone cost only 5,000 yen. Weird ?
