Singapore, being a small and urban city, is always trying to find better ways and means of disposing its trash. Currently, the country’s method of disposing waste is by landfills, a process of dumping waste at an large empty site, but just disposing trash by landfills is not enough, as it takes up much precious land and pollutes the environment around it. Therefore, a better approach would be to instead of just disposing trash, recycling it.
A feasible approach is by using the zero-waste system. It is a system that allows the items we use in our daily lives to be highly recyclable, which would reduce the amount of items needed to be disposed off. As the objective of the zero-waste system is to produce majority of the consumable products we use in our daily lives using materials that are recyclable, reusable and repairable.
This is more environmentally friendly and economically profitable as daily used items and products like coke bottles, computer casings, plastic utensils and bags, if made using recyclable material can be collected after used and remade into new products to be used or sold.
Therefore, it would be advisable for our government not to stick to only one method of disposing waste, but to incorporate this zero-waste system as a means of reducing waste which will in time reduce the amount of waste being dumped in landfills altogether.

Thanks for the rewrite. No comments on others' posts?
We both agree on the three Rs in Singapore: reduce, reuse and recycle!! - zero waste system
I also agree as ragnarok , recycle ,reduce and reuse is really the main things for zero waste system
All countries should develope thisd idea of zero waste i guess...it is definitely the best option:)
yes, zero waste seems very suitable for Singapore, but I afraid that such a modern and high-tech method will withdraw a huge amount of money from the country's fund when Singapore is mainly concentrating on developing the economy.
3R is always good. I think Singapore should really apply zero waste. No place for landfill and incineration creates quite an amount of pollution. Both of them hurt Singapore's tourism when a fortune of Singapore's income comes from it.
Totally agree with you.
Zero waste is indeed a great option for most countries, especially Singapore as the land here isn't much available for landfilling usage.
