In SG, we have a few types of bins. The green bin for daily unrecycleable rubbish, blue bin for recyclable materials (paper, glass, plastic, metal), and IT waste bin at community centres for laptops, ipads, cables, etc, and another plastic bottle recycling machine at some malls.
I really appreciate my rubbish chute in kitchen. No need walk out. This was very important to me when I selected my house. Also the kitchen is very big.

Yes from young, we have a trash bag near our sink or prep area to throw the food trash separate from other waste. it's more convenient and cleaner to have it nearby during prep :D As this is food waste and is usually wet, hence will attract cockroaches etc. Newer HDBs and older ones are different. New ones are built closer and corridors are narrower. Drying of clothes area I think are smaller too. I always wondered how these people dry their bed sheet and other large items lor. Those who design these houses don't do housework LOL You can leave things outside the corridor up to a certain distance. I understand you need to leave a gap of don't know how much for emergency etc. i.e. your stuff should not block the walkway or like cause safety hazards
Hi Irene, we also hv a small trash bag in the sink to gather stuffs when cooking or others. Regarding hanging clothes, it's becoming a norm to get either a dryer or auto clothes drying system in service yard. Guess it's affluence in some way 🙂
the bomb shelter was originally a storeroom, but back in 90's the govt. decided to instill self defence concept, instead of giving us a storeroom HDB built a bomb shelter in all housing units, so house owners make full use of it as a storeroom when they renovate their apartments
@@IrenereneHK a storeroom is just simply conventionally built, but a bomb shelter needs to follow strict material requirement standards to b supposedly tough enough to withstand n shield people from bomb blast in the event of air raid
@@IrenereneHK yes I think from 90s then have those bomb shelters. Can't remember if it's from 911 or some major incident this bomb shelter in flats started.

I not sure about others... But in HK, I will not hang my clothes to dry outside the rack... Becos I find that most older HK buildings, the place for hanging clothes are dirty and usually not very windy or is blocked by some building structures.....
HDB houses built before 1997 are with store room and can be knock down to make space for bigger room but not for bomb shelters. Bomb shelters are meant for hiding when it comes to emergency.

HDB Bomb Shelter is not ordinary room with heavy iron door. Its walls, floor and ceiling are reinforced with extra thickness to protect you from real bomb explosion fragments. Residents are Not allowed to do any renovation works which are likely to “weaken or damage any structural elements of the bomb shelter”. You cannot also do away with the iron door. Personally, I dislike it. But what to do, Singapore takes war preparation very seriously like Switzerland.
When I was living in HK, I seldom hang my clothes as there wasn't good sunshine (even summer time, its just hot and very 焗, don't really see the sun) and no offence, it feels very dirty hanging the clothes outside. Regarding water, maybe because the building I stayed in was an old building (30+, 40+ years) the pipes are old and if I were to be away from home for 1-2 weeks, the moment I turned on the tap, it's yellow muddy water which made me very stressful. Although there isn't a trend for storage room in HK, I must say I get to be creative with storing stuff with limited space, making good use of every space and be "Marie Kondo".
Jane, environment in HK is poor mainly because it one of the most populated cities in the world. If you want to have a clean and clear city move to SG.
Although our tap water is safe for drinking, it is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to boil the tap water before consumption. Also, despite the fact that some countries, such as Sweden and Japan, banned fluorine in their municipal water, Singapore STILL adds fluorine to our tap water.
@@yamenaidepure You should Google and find out more about fluorine in drink water, and its effects on the human body... Especially on the brain, bones and kidneys. For the teeth, regular oral care with toothpaste is sufficient.

在香港，1970年代或以前建的公屋(當時叫廉租屋)，每個單位都是有"三支香掠衣架"的。
在香港，1980年代或之後建的私人屋苑，每層垃圾房內都設有直接扔垃圾的管道，不需要清潔工人進大廈內每層收集垃圾。
至於自來水，其實香港的自來水是達可直接飲用的標準，但由於不知輸水管的衛生情況，所以香港政府只建議使用過濾器或者煲滾後才可以飲。
香港我會很怕🥶🥶🥶🥶

原來新加坡有儲物室，而且倒垃圾很便利
嗰啲所謂三支香，我甚至乎睇過人哋成張 mattress攞嚟晒。想問下你哋舊式公屋嗰啲冷巷，你哋有冇擺嘢喺出便？睇電影有好似無。
好少放野喺出面🥶🥶
香港行街需要避開 aircon water, 不小心就头濕濕，閃人又閃水好 stressful. 冇postal code system 好奇怪, 都是 urban renewal problems.
I agree with this冷氣機滴水
舊式的組屋小點的是沒有儲物間的，大點的才有，然而舊式組屋的儲物間不是bomb shelter.
只有新的組屋的儲物間同時是 bomb shelter.
我不是很懂有甚麼分別🥶🥶
