Year: 2024
New reverse vending machine (RVM) has been installed in 3 locations of Green@Community:
📍GREEN@SHAM SHUI PO
📍GREEN@TUEN MUM
📍GREEN@YUEN LONG

The newly introduced RVM is set to accept tetra paks (beverage cartons) with capacity ranged from 100ml to 2L 🧃🧃🧃
Each user can return up to 30 tetra paks each day, and for each return, user will receive HKD 0.1 per carton directly on their Octopus card. To motivate user to participate in clean recycling, this new pilot program initiated by EPD encourages user to simply cut off one corner of the carton and rinse it before return without any deformation. ♻️
Milk cartons and aluminium foil cartons can be accepted for recycling.
User is encouraged to rinse the recyclables and empty the content before recycling.
