The Highlights
Food waste collection in Hong Kong public rental housing estates
To encourage the practices of food waste source separation, collection and recycling, Environmental Protection Department (“EPD”) launched a 18-month trial scheme for residents by installing smart recycling bins from Cornerstone to collect foodwaste in about 30 blocks of five PRH estates under the Housing Department and the Hong Kong Housing Society.
The first phase of the trial scheme covers about 30 blocks of the five PRH estates, namely Shek Pai Wan Estate in Aberdeen, Choi Tak Estate in Ngau Tau Kok, Sheung Tak Estate in Tseung Kwan O, Kwun Lung Lau in Kennedy Town and Lin Tsui Estate in Chai Wan. The trial scheme uses smart recycling bins equipped with overflow prevention and odour abatement devices to collect food waste and maintain environmental hygiene.
