Singapore’s 2024
Waste & Recycling Statistics
Recycling rates vary widely across different waste streams.
Singapore’s overall recycling rate declined from 52% in 2023 to 50% in 2024 — a reminder of the challenges ahead, but also an opportunity for businesses to strengthen their recycling performance.
At Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd, we help businesses and organizations enhance recycling performance through flexible collection programs, transparent reporting, and rebate-based recycling solutions for approved materials. Whether through self drop-offs or scheduled collections, our services are designed to make recycling efficient and aligned with Singapore’s sustainability goals.

Confidential items such as documents, hard drives, and storage media are not processed under our general recycling services. These materials are securely managed through Gee Hoe Seng’s Secure Data Destruction Services, which include shredding or data wipe, in compliance with data protection standards. Learn more about our Secure Data Destruction Services for safe and certified disposal.
Gee Hoe Seng does not currently provide carton boxes, gunny sacks, or recycling bins. To ensure smooth collection, recyclables should be boxed, tied, or palletized before pickup.
We encourage customers to purchase their own recycling bins to promote responsibility and ownership over recycling practices. For large-volume collections, we offer open-top container placement services upon request — contact our team to find the best fit for your needs.
Our recycling collection services are currently available for commercial and industrial clients only. We do not provide residential or household recyclable collections at this time. However, homeowners are welcome to drop off recyclables at our facility.
Ad-hoc recycling collection requests require dedicated trips outside our regular recycling routes, resulting in additional logistics, manpower, and transport costs. As these are one-off services that typically involve smaller quantities of recyclables, a service fee starting from $90 per trip applies to cover operational expenses and ensure efficient collection.
Recycling office documents, mixed paper, and carbon paper requires additional effort because these materials often include clips, folders, plastic sleeves, or other non-recyclable items. Our team performs extra sorting and separation before the paper can be processed properly. A service fee helps cover the labor, sorting, and recycling costs involved in ensuring responsible disposal.
Yes — Gee Hoe Seng offers cash rebates for approved recyclable materials. You can receive payment when you drop off recyclables at our facility or when your collection exceeds 500 kg. Rebates are based on current market rates and apply only to clean, non-contaminated items. Non-recyclable or soiled materials are not eligible for payment.

Please always sort recyclables by material type (e.g., paper, metal, plastic) and keep all items clean and dry.
