Recyclable Waste Donation Program is a religion-based activity, help reducing waste problem. Buddhists who recognize the value of recyclable wastes will donate their wastes to the temple or the project organizer. The income received from waste selling will use as a fund for many charity projects such as education for poor children, etc.
The reuse/recycle approach was started since the Buddha Era. The Lord Buddha made his garment from the cloth which Indian people used for corpse covering and threw it away in the forest after using. He washed the cloth, boiled it and dyed it with natural color got from tree husk. Furthermore, He taught his apostles to reuse their garment after it worn out as small mattress for sitting on or use it as hands/feet towel or as a rag. And after the rag is totally worn out until it can not be used anymore, He advised mixing it with mud for holes refill to prevent rain from penetrating into the residence.
