Charity box, Petron Jln PJS 11/2, Petaling Jaya


Charity box, Petron Jln PJS 11/2

Along Jalan PJS 11/2 there is a Petron station, at one of its corners is a charity box, belonging to three different charities: 1) Spastic Children's Society of Selangor and Federal Territory; 2) Makna Cancer Society; 3) Malaysian Association for the Blind. Donated items will apparently be sold and the proceeds be divided amongst the charities. Another landmark close by is the colourful MPSJ 3C Complex (which by the way houses a decent hypermedia library, and probably would accept book donations).

Ikea Damansara recycling boxes, Petaling Jaya

Ikea Damansara recycling boxes


At Ikea Damansara, there are a few recycling boxes which are located in front of the checkout counters, and between the customer service/returns area and the food area. As shown in the image below, there are separate boxes for several types of recyclable items. An additional note points out that the returns and exchange counter even accepts used incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs.

So far, this is the only place I know of that accepts loose general batteries for recycling, i.e. not just batteries from things like laptops and mobile phones.
