Food Waste Recycling Schemes

Introduction
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has been providing free point-to-point food waste collection services for commercial and industrial premises through the Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Collection. Food Waste Recycling Points and Recycling Spots are set up at refuse collection points and “food and beverage clusters” respectively, and smaller-scale restaurants can make arrangements to send their food waste to these designated locations for recycling. The food waste collected through the above initiatives is delivered to the Government’s treatment facilities for turning into energy and compost.
