Hong Chi Association has been commissioned by open tender to run the Yuen Long Community Green Station that provides a collection service for recyclables, the Environmental Protection Department announced today.
The contract will run for three years.
At the junction of Wetland Park Road and Tin Wah Road, the facility will start operation early next year.
The collection service will mainly cover low-value recyclables such as electrical appliances, glass containers, compact fluorescent lamps and rechargeable batteries, while a small amount of waste paper, waste plastic and scrap metal can also be collected.
It is the fourth Community Green Station project completed and will also feature education programmes to promote the messages of "Use Less, Waste Less" and "Clean Recycling".
The Community Green Stations in Sha Tin and Eastern District opened last year, while the one in Kwun Tong will start running by the end of this year.
The service contract of the Sham Shui Po project will be awarded later.
