RECYCLING OLD NEWSPAPERS

There was quite a bit of old newspapers in the library storeroom and I had to do something to make space for future ones.  So I got my Year 1 college students to help bundle and tie them up.  You can see us with the newspapers.

Halifi is transporting the newspapers to my car using a trolley.

The boys had to negotiate a few bends on route to my car.

They reach the area outside the office.  I would be driving my car there.

Arranging the papers so that they could fit into the boot.

After work, I would send the old newspapers to the recycling centre.  Accompanying me to the place was another librarian, Iffah.

 Weighing the old newspapers.

 A total of 80 kilogrammes.

 Here I am waiting to be paid for the newspapers. Each kilogramme of newspapers is 22 sen.  I got paid RM18.  The man gave me a bit extra.

See!  I am holding the RM18 from the sale.  The money will be used to buy snacks for the Resource Centre Open House next Tuesday.
