Semakau Landfill
Public Service Week 2009!!!!
A day trip to P. Semakau to take a look at the landfill!!!
As it is an Island, we need to take a boat there... Hence, we proceed to the jetty to find a boat...
Not long after departing from the jetty, the island could be seen.
Nearer now...
Real Close..
These stuff used to be trash... After a long journey of cleaning and purifying... They will enjoy a new lease of life as land...
What you are seeing here, used to be the sea... however, it have since been reclaimed... with trash...
The first stage of turning trash into land.. Draining the basin of sea water..
Once the trash is ready to fill up the basin, these three inlets will be sealed.. for good...
The membrane that prevent any liquid from the trash to pollute our water.
An illustration of the island.
These tubes allow the staff to monitor the surrounding water compound.
A windmill at the far end of the island powers the lights in the immediate vicinity.
A BIG pot of plants to TELL YOU LOUDLY that it is the END of the road.. any further and you'll plunge into the sea... They only need TRASH to reclaim the land, not you. Thank you.
Our group.
Look at how clean the water is ...
A model of the island.
The boat that brought us here.
Panoramics... ( I have since changed to Picasa to host my photos instead of Photobucket.. Hence, I don't have the option to display these pictures larger)
