I think the dog should be more worried about getting smothered by fans.

BlooboxGoWhere

As part of the Recycle Right campaign, each residential household will be able to collect one recycling box, or Bloobox, to build a habit of recycling at home. Paper, plastic, metal, or glass recyclables and e-waste can be placed in the Bloobox, and brought to a nearby recycling bin/chute or e-waste bin when convenient.

Households are encouraged to reuse the Bloobox for as long as possible as it can be washed and reused.

We are starting with a pilot phase at five (5) constituencies. Under the pilot phase, all residential households in Fengshan, Sembawang West, Tampines North, Yio Chu Kang and Yuhua constituencies may collect one Bloobox per residential address from 26 November 2022 (Saturday) to 23 December 2022 (Friday).

NRIC and long term FIN holders staying at a residential address can collect the Bloobox on behalf of your household. If you do not stay within the five constituencies where this is being piloted, you may collect your Bloobox in the nationwide phase which is planned to start from March 2023. More details will be announced nearer the date.

If you need any assistance in collecting your Bloobox, please call 6904 9042.

Some who received their CDC Vouchers may be living, studying or working overseas.

SIL & her 2 daughters are living in Melbourne & left access of their vouchers to his son & DIL in Spore to use & both are young & busy working adults so cldnt finish using them all. They pass some balance to other relatives & my family. SIL’s last trip to SG, I then used the vouchers at Hong Lim food centre when we met for lunch.

There shld be an option to donate these vouchers as a choice.

Most of the places I go do not accept these vouchers. And I keep forgetting to use them even if I happen to go to any of the merchants that accept these vouchers.

Was searching for ways to donate them like the Singapore Discovery Vouchers but could not find any proper channels to do it. In the end, I passed the link to mum and MIL and told them to use them.

Creamier is a good place to spend the CDC Vouchers!

I'm slightly surprised they haven't provided such options yet (unlike back then for the SingapoRediscovers Vouchers where there were multiple revenues to do so, a couple of months before expiration). Should be a matter of when rather than if - which is good, esp. with the inflation and rising GST

So far, all my usage has been at the hawker centre - can tell more easily which stalls accept them.

Ya. Wished authorities can extend till Jan & allow that extended month for CDC vouchers to be donated to elderly or needy families EPs with raise in GST & Inflation. Think most of us wld be happy with this option to gift.
