Used items are not rubbish but valuable resources that can be recyled and put to good use for the benefit of society.

This morning after completing the week's groceries purchase at the Kajang wet market dear wife gave away some empty plastic containers and other used items that we no longer need to P.A.S.S., a charity recycling NGO. P.A.S.S. is the acronym for Pertubuhan Amal Seri Sinar, a NGO located in Hulu langat, Selangor.

In Kajang this NGO operates a collection centre in front of a bank around the wet market area. Whenever we have accumulated enough used household items eg plastic, magazines and newspapers we would drop them off at the collection centre. According to the NGO's brochure this organisation also operates collection centres at other districts other than Kajang eg Sri Gombak, Setapak, Taman Melawati, Setapak Jaya, Kampung Air Panas, Taman Sri Rampai, Taman Danau Kota, etc. If you have bulky items to give away like used furniture P.A.S.S. would even send their truck to your home to pick up the items FOC.

According to the NGO's brochure and its official website P.S.S.E's activities are mainly welfare and environmental preservation work eg financial aid to old folks, orphans and poor children, planting of trees to beautify the environment, food rations to single families, education and study aid to needy children, organising recycling campaigns, etc,etc.
