We continue to coordinate waste recycling efforts with the Environmental
Campaign Committee (ECC). Together, we brought the Waste Recycling
Campaign to all of our 160 occupied estates.
In total, residents separated 25 000 tonnes of waste for recycling
in the past year. This was a large contribution to environmental protection.
Because residents generated much less waste (13% less), they did not
have as much waste that needed recycling compared to the previous
year. We therefore saw the amount of waste collected for recycling
decrease. In addition, 11 of the estates participating in the Waste
Recycling Campaign last year, are no longer under our management (having
joined the Tenants Purchase Scheme) and instead have joined the Waste
Recycling Campaign for private sector housing (results are not reported
here).

Our new Waste Reduction Credit Scheme (Phase
1) ran for 9 months ending in March 2002. Its aim is to encourage
residents to reduce waste. Every household in the best 10 estates,
including Wah Sum Estate, Sau Mau Ping (III) Estate and Yat
Tung Estate, will receive a souvenir for their achievements.
We will continue the scheme in the coming year. |
