The Environmental Protection Department today said that the smart recycling bin located in the shopping mall at Ocean Shores Phase 3 on O King Road in Tiu Keng Leng, commonly known as the GREEN@SAI KUNG TOWN - TIU KENG LENG BRANCH, will be relocated to the nearby Metro City Shopping Mall for operation in mid-September.
 
The department explained that it has noticed recent misunderstandings among some media and community members, who thought that the recycling services at the above location were being terminated, raising concerns about the potential inconvenience for residents in the area participating in waste separation and recycling.
 
The department hereby clarifies that the relocation of the smart recycling bin is solely due to the expiration of lease at the current site. It will be moved to another location in the same district to continue providing convenient recycling services to the public. A notice regarding the relocation has been posted on the smart recycling bin to inform the public of the arrangements.
 
As the Metro City Shopping Mall is currently undergoing internal renovation works, the department is keeping close communication with the management office. The smart recycling bin is tentatively scheduled to commence operation on September 15.
 
The department thanks the public for their continued support and calls on everyone to continue actively carrying out green actions, working together to contribute to Hong Kong's environmental protection efforts.
 
Moreover, to further facilitate public participation in recycling, GREEN@SAI KUNG TOWN will set up a Recycling Spot on the pavement outside Exit A2 of Tiu Keng Leng MTR Station every Tuesday and Saturday morning starting from September 16.
 
People can also visit the nearby GREEN@KIN MING located in Kin Ming Estate or use the waste separation and recycling facilities in their housing estates for continuous participation in clean recycling.
