Note: If members of the public and C&I organisations have to recycle NCTs before January 3 or during 8 to 20, 2024, please deliver them to Y·PARK during operating hours (9am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, except public holidays).
An EPD spokesman said to facilitate public participation, the collection time for all DCPs will be extended. The NCTs collected and other yard waste will be turned into various recyclable products at Y·PARK to facilitate their reuse, recycling or upcycling into decorations, wooden furniture, wood art products and more.
The Programme is limited to the recycling of NCTs, and all lighting, plastic stands, decorations and tape on the NCTs should be removed before delivery to facilitate the subsequent recycling processes. The public are also encouraged to replant small potted plants such as poinsettias, and keep artificial Christmas trees and other festival decorations for reuse to help reduce waste and conserve resources.
An e-certificate will be issued to the participants who deliver NCTs to the CCP or the Recycling Stations for recycling. Participants will also receive a gift upon delivery of NCTs to the Recycling Stations while stocks last. For details of the NCTs Recycling Programme, please visit the Hong Kong Waste Reduction website at www.wastereduction.gov.hk/en-hk/article/2023-24-natural-christmas-trees-recycling-programme.
The EPD also welcomes other organisations and associations to provide recycling services for NCTs to help the public and C&I organisations to participate and enhance waste reduction efforts for all.
The following is issued on behalf of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority:
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced the launch of the Faster Payment System (FPS) Suspicious Proxy ID Alert on November 26. This initiative aims to enhance the alert mechanism to users of the associated fraud risks before conducting transactions using FPS proxy IDs.
The HKMA has been collaborating closely with the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF), the Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited and the industry, including banks and stored value facility operators (SVFs), to develop an alert mechanism based on the information available from the Scameter, an anti-fraud search engine developed by the HKPF. All FPS participants that provide real-time fund transfer services to personal users where FPS proxy IDs are used, including a total of 44 banks and SVFs, have launched this initiative (see Annex on the list of participating institutions).
Under this mechanism, users will be alerted of the high risk of fraud if the payee’s FPS proxy ID (including mobile phone number, email address, FPS Identifier (FPS ID)) falls within the list of proxy IDs labelled as “High Risk” on Scameter. An alert message will be displayed to users, reminding them to think twice before deciding whether to cancel the transaction or continue with the payment.
Regardless of whether they receive alert messages, users are advised to carefully verify the payment details and whether the payee identity is trustworthy before each payment. To avoid potential losses, users should not make payment where in doubt. Participating institutions have made available the updated app containing this feature in the app store. Users should also use a most updated version of mobile banking or e-wallet application containing this feature in order to receive the alert, if any, when making payment using FPS proxy ID.
