On the morning of June 3rd, the first recycling store in Ningbo "Thank You" began trial operation, attracting wide attention.
It is a household waste material recycling store jointly established by multiple units such as the Municipal Classification Office, the Municipal Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau, the Municipal Education Bureau, and the Municipal Government Affairs Management Bureau. It aims to revitalize the recycling of waste materials in residents' homes, guide them to consume reasonably, advocate for the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift, and build an offline consumption system for Ningbo's waste classification waste material recycling.
“My son is in junior high school and he no longer plays the children's scooters. They take up a lot of space at home and we are reluctant to sell them as scrap. I heard that there is a new recycling store, where we can exchange our items for points and items. So I come here to
take a look. I happened to see that there are many recommended reading books for junior high school extracurricular activities in the store. So I exchanged the children's scooters for points and used them to buy two books” said Ms. Mao, who lives in Guangxia Yiting.
The store manager Han Xiaorong said that the supply of goods in the store is all donated by citizens, and there are over 10000 items on the shelves. The name of the store is from the English phrase "Thank You" to express gratitude for the growth of all things on Earth, as well as to "the recycling that brings us together". We hope to closely connect citizens with the need to exchange idle items and venues through recycling stores, and jointly practice a green and low-carbon lifestyle.
To celebrate the trial opening of the circular store, the organizer has customized the “children's low-carbon journey" activity for children. Many children participated in the children's recycling "recycling race" on site, and there was also a children's bike exchange activity. Children exchanged their idle children's bikes with the shop owner or other children for a new experience.
Mr. Gao, said, "It's really nice to have such a recycling store nearby. Children can participate in activities and learn a lot about garbage classification and recycling
