Funded by the Environment and Conservation Fund, the Environmental Campaign Committee (ECC) has been cooperating with the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to launch the territory-wide "Promotion Programme on Source Separation of Waste" (the Programme) by distributing waste separation bins on a free-of-charge basis to domestic housing, commercial and industrial premises and schools since 2008. The objective of the Programme is to introduce a feasible way of implementing waste separation to the property management companies and schools. Through the provision of waste separation bins, it would not only improve the waste separation facilities of the buildings and schools but also expand the variety of recyclables to be recovered.
The target participants of the Programme are divided into three categories: namely Residential Buildings, Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Buildings and Schools.
