Underlying dilemma

Re: “The high cost of fashion”, (Life,

Oct 11).

Talk about throwing away our underwear. Only once in a while do we dispose of our underwear. We don’t give it to our people like old clothing.

So where do we dispose of maybe only two pieces of it? We just wrap them up and dump them into the garbage because there are no special bins.

It is going to take a long long time before we see any action taken by state agencies or housing estate management to provide different coloured bins and teach people how and where to drop different types of waste material.

At home, we separate our waste but in the end, when the garbage truck comes along, it goes into one big bin.
