Syarikat K. Pitchai

Syarikat K. Pitchai is a recycler, collector, and seller of everyday items. Preferred items for recycling are gunny sacks, glass bottles, plastic, paper, storage drums, and scrap metals. The premises are located along Jalan Barrack, opposite the Post Office, and adjacent to Teck Teck Seah Chee Seng Koh. A more colloquial (and somewhat derogatory terms by today’s standards) for this business would be “keling botol”. In certain more enlightened circles, Syarikat K. Pitchay would be known as a “junk dealer”.

The shop usually has a sizeable collection of old and collectible glass bottles and other antiques for sale. Prices tend to be steep for rare items, therefore sharpen your haggling skills before deciding on purchasing anything.
