Do you find yourself tossing beer bottles, dead batteries and empty shampoo bottles in the rubbish bin at home? Do you also find you hate yourself for it later? If you’re nodding in shameful agreement, then we have an event for you: Global Friendship’s Recycle Collection Zone on September 9.
The sustainability-focused event is the third of its kind in Guangzhou, and is jointly organized by Global Friendship, Eco Canton and Canton Residence.
At the recycling drive, volunteers will be available to help you organize your recyclable items from 10am-1pm at the south gate of The Canton Place.
