Tan En Pei do not recycle and does not have the habit of doing so. She is currently no working and has retired a year ago. “Even if i have things to recycle where do i recycle the items? The only bins that is available and placed under my block is just normal rubbish bins.” The rubbish binn available under her block is shown in “Figure 2.2c The only normal rubbish  bins under HDB “.
