/REPOST from news.gov.hk: Green scheme covers all PRH sites /

The EPD, in collaboration with the Housing Department and the Housing Society, launched the scheme in PRH estates in late October 2022, targeting to collect food waste by setting up food waste smart recycling bins (FWSRBs) in all of the 213 PRH estates in the city by the end of August this year.

It explained that it installed 740 FWSRBs covering all of the PRH estates as of the end of June, two months ahead of the target.

The environment chief stated that the food waste collected from PRH estates will be delivered to food waste treatment facilities for conversion into electricity and compost, noting that the EPD will install FWSRBs in newly developed PRH estates and plans to provide additional ones with priority to PRH estates with higher quantities of collected food waste starting from the third quarter this year.

Additionally, apart from installing FWSRBs in four GREEN@COMMUNITY facilities in Sham Shui Po, Eastern District, Sai Kung and Sha Tin and at Lockhart Road Market, the EPD is preparing to expand it to GREEN@TUEN MUN by mid-July.
