To strengthen the support for waste reduction and recycling at the district level, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) is actively building a new community recycling network, including Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores and Recycling Spots, and promoting different initiatives across the territory with a view to gaining more support from the public to go green and instill a green living culture in the community.
All Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores and Recycling Spots accept at least eight common types of recyclables, including paper, metals plastics, glass bottles, regulated electrical equipment, small electrical appliances, fluorescent lamps and tubes, and rechargeable batteries, etc. The recyclables collected would be sorted and then delivered to the downstream recyclers for subsequent processing.
Besides the GREEN@ISLANDS, GREEN@ MUI WO has also set up a Recycling Station at Shop D, G/F, Silver Centre Building, 10 Mui Wo Ferry Pier Road in Mui Wo, and a Recycling Spot at New Public Pier in Cheung Chau on every Wednesday (11:00 to 14:00) facilitating the public to participate in recycling. The timetable of Recycling Spots would be changed due to particular circumstances, bad weather or other unforeseeable reasons. The details of Recycling Spots can be accessed via the social media pages of GREEN@ISLANDS and GREEN@MUI WO.
