Recycle with Tzu Chi

Tzu Chi, the Taiwan-based group, is famous for providing reliefs to needy people. Less known to public, though, is its efforts in promoting environmentalism.

In Malaysia, Tzu Chi collects used stuff for recycle purposes on the third Sunday of every month. One of the locations they operate is SS2, Petaling Jaya. I went there recently to hand over my old clothes. At the same time I also snapped some pictures for sharing online…


Cloth…


Paper…


Old computers and electronic products…



Education materials (mostly in Chinese)…


So, do you have old clothes or outdated computers for recycling? Send them to Tzu Chi.

  17. I understand Alam Flora salvages usable parts and other precious metals from the computers. They pay RM5 for each PC brought in.

  19. During my many trips to Taipei, I was often glued to their Tzu chi's own television channel which ran for 24 hours showing their global activities. Very remarkable and I salute their selfless contributions.

  20. In Taiwan alone, they have like 8 very large and ultra modern hospitals with latest facilities which cater to the needy patients FREE OF CHARGE! Now how many countries could run such charitable private hospitals who rely on public donations? They even fly in patients from disaster-hit countries during earthquakes and tsunami.

  21. I hear a lot of stories from their members who are my personal friends and they all happen to be very wealthy people. They changed for the better after joining Tzu Chi but there is something funny besides having such benevolent and charity hearts! Their groups in Malaysia are split into 2-3 gangs due to some minor issues. Now that is not nice to hear since humans should be united for this good cause. I am just being frank...

  26. Tzu Chi is a charity organization and very actively involved in recycle effort as to save our environment and planet. All the fund from selling these recycle material in use for charity.In Malacca Tzu Chi is very active and have many recycle points. But in KL I find it very seldom receive info for Tzu Chi activities.
