An example of residential recycling bin. Note: While conducting this research, the lead author encountered a run-down recycling bin that had been placed in a residential area in Henqing, Zhuhai, China. However, the QR code is not functioning. It remains unclear whether this recycling bin is still operational for collecting unwanted items and clothing. Nevertheless, it can be inferred that these recycling bins may merely be a formality rather than an effective waste management solution. Source(s): Authors’ own work
