We help green groups and charities
collect donated used-clothes |
| We continue to seek ways to encourage residents to
use the waste recycle collection bins. We provided specially-designed
waste recycle bins on each floor in 2 selected estates on a trial
basis. The results so far are encouraging and we have seen that residents
are increasing the amount of waste they set aside for recycling. Following
the trial, we will plan how we can increase their use by extending
the scheme to other estates. We continue to support our stakeholders' initiatives on waste recycling. In the past year, we have worked with EPD to bring the Regional Plastic Bottles Collection Scheme to 61% of our estates. Together we promoted collection of plastic bottles for 3 months, and our residents received a special souvenir for their contributions. Over the past year, we have continued to assist charities and green groups to collect the used-clothes that our residents donate. In the coming year, we will collaborate with more charitable organisations including the Conservancy Association, Salvation Army, Kittiwake Social Service Association and Friends of the Earth in their efforts to gather used-clothing. We assisted ECC with their poster campaign to reduce the number of plastic shopping bags used by our residents. |

Automated Refuse Collection Systems (ARCS) are the best way for making waste collection easier and more hygienic for everyone. In the past year, we installed ARCS in 11 more new projects bringing the total number of flats served to 27 700. A further 18 projects (37 300 flats) will have ARCS installed in the coming years (bringing total number of flats served to 65 000). |
