...unwittingly creates a new hygiene problem...

...the HDB void deck floors where these recycling machines are located are often stained with the spilt contents of the half emptied drink cans....makes the whole place looks really dirty...

in Europe, where the recycling machines are placed in supermarkets, there is sometimes a tap right beside to rinse the bottle/can.

People do not wash the cans and bottles. Transfer straight from trash bin to this machine.

End result is just another form of trash bin with contaminated contents that cannot be recycled and go straight to landfill. Zero percent recycling rate and white elephant that cost more money to clean and maintain.

Cans and bottles that not washed can still be recycled bah.
Before they recycle the cans/bottles, they also will wash it mah.

Why keep?
After trying for a few times using different machines, if can't work I'll throw it away

Must be did it manually
They just collect regardless of whether cans are "eligible" or not
