Hong Kong Housing Authority and Housing Department

To support the World Environment Day and to boost awareness of environmental protection among staff, the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) joined hands again with the Community Recycling Coop of Industrial Relations Institute, a non-profit making charity organisation, to organise the “Environmental Collection and Recycling Campaign” in June. The HA staff were encouraged to reduce and recycle surplus household items by donating them to the needy for further use.

The campaign was held at the HA Headquarters, Lung Cheung Office Block in Wong Tai Sin and the HA Customer Service Centre in Lok Fu. With full support from staff, nearly 1.6 tonnes of reusable items were collected, including electrical appliances, clothes, shoes, handbags, books, stationeries, toys, kitchen, bedding and sports items, and decorations, etc. They would be sold at low prices to low-income families in a community second-hand shop in Sham Shui Po to lessen their financial burden.
