‘Hong Kong will further postpone introducing waste-charging scheme by 4 months’

Hong Kong authorities will further postpone introducing a municipal waste-charging scheme by four months, the Post has learned.

The scheme, which was set to take effect in April, has been met with criticism and confusion over details of the logistics in recent weeks, with Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu demanding the Environment Bureau work harder to explain how it would work and the legal responsibilities involved.

The four-month delay will push the introduction of the scheme to August.

First expected to be implemented by the end of last year, the scheme was delayed until April after waste collectors raised concerns over a shortage of staff and an expected surge in rubbish during the winter holidays.
