Tzu Chi 3R Center at Taman Tunku is a recycling center that makes use of the Taman Tunku Community Hall to collect, redistribute, and resell recyclable items as part of an initiative to promote recycling.
The collection center opens every Tuesday morning, or every forth Sunday of the month. The center attracts local residents to dispose of recyclable items and also volunteers to sort out paper, clothing, plastic and glass. Items which are still usable are then put up for sale, creating a flea market. Items to be recycled are sent to the 3R factory in Lambir to be properly recycled.
