Group Members: Chan Ching Ching (6S , 18) Lau Hiu Tung (6S , 25) Content: 1.Types of waste in Hong Kong 2.Effects on environment of Hong Kong 3.Solutions to the waste

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Construction Waste Chemical Waste Special Waste

 also called urban solid waste  mainly household waste (domestic waste)  commercial waste  industrial waste

North East New Territories Landfill West New Territories Landfill South East New Territories Landfill

 about tones of municipal solid waste disposed every day  the three landfills would be full in five to nine years  Hong Kong has such a limited land resource and finding new landfills is difficult

 Reduce  Reuse  Recycle

 liquid, semi-solid and solid chemical wastes e,g, heavy metals (mercury)  hazardous in nature or constitute a risk of pollution to the environment  mainly from large factories

Release into coastal waters:  causes damage to local marine life  accumulates toxins in sea-food  creates a serious health hazard to the community Uncontrolled disposal at municipal waste facilities and sewage treatment facilities:  threatens the health and safety of the operatives  costly repairs and replaces  disruption to their operation

Under Waste Disposal (Chemical Waste) Regulation  pack, label and store their chemical wastes correctly  treat at the Chemical Waste Treatment Centre on Tsing Yi Island  waste producers are required to pay part of the treatment cost

Sources: construction work and abandoned e.g. construction, renovation, demolition, land excavation and road works

Take up lots of space of landfill sites

Filling in reclamation sites Construction Waste Disposal Charging Scheme Government Waste Disposal Facilities

Clinical waste Sources: hospitals, clinics, laboratory Animal carcasses Sources: livestock farms Others: Radioactive waste, grease trap waste
