II. Introduction
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) organizes the Programme on Source Separation of Waste. The Super 3R Competition in Housing Estates will be held from April 2005 to March 2006.
This Programme aims at encouraging residents to separate recyclables at source by setting up collection point of recyclables on each floor of the estate/building. By broadening the types of recyclable to waste paper, metals, plastics and other recyclables, we can further reduce waste and enhance the recovery rate. Other recyclables such as old clothing, electrical appliances and computers can also be collected regularly.
