The EPD thus clarifies that the moving of the clever recycling bin is exclusively due to the expiration of lease at the existing website. It will be transferred to another place in the very same district to continue offering practical recycling services to the general public.

We call on everyone to continue actively carrying out green actions, working together to contribute to Hong Kong’s environmental protection efforts,” the representative stated.
