GREEN@COMMUNITY

The Environmental Protection Department has been continuously enhancing the community recycling network GREEN@COMMUNITY comprises Recycling Stations, Recycling Stores and Recycling Spots accepting paper, metals, plastics, glass containers, rechargeable batteries, fluorescent lamps and tubes, regulated electrical equipment, small electrical appliances and beverage cartons with services covering all 18 districts across the territory.  Together with smart recycling bins, the community recycling network has more than 800 public collection points. In addition to supporting community recycling, various environmental education and promotional activities would also be organized by GREEN@COMMUNITY to instil a green lifestyle into the community.

GREEN$ Electronic Participation Incentive Scheme (GREEN$ ePIS)

To encourage more members of the public to participate in resources separation and recycling, the EPD launched the GREEN$ Electronic Participation Scheme (GREEN$) in November 2020.  Members of the public can earn GREEN$ points when they submit recyclables or food waste to the community recycling facilities or smart food waste recycling bins through GREEN$.  The GREEN$ points can be used for redemption of gift items, or e-points of a number of reward platforms under cooperation, which can be used in over 150 000 merchants across Hong Kong, thus integrating recycling into daily routines.
