It is illegal to share large designated bags across the floor

In an interview with a radio program today (12th), DAB Legislative Council member Leung Hee said that some building corporations or management companies think that they only need to wrap the largest size designated garbage bags in the garbage cans on the back stairs of each floor, and then each household Simply place household waste in this garbage bag. Liang Xi pointed out that in fact the relevant practice is not permitted by law.

Worry about garbage flushing toilets causing clogging

Liang Xi continued to point out that some people want to give designated garbage bags when visiting low-income families. This practice is also not allowed. Under the new regulations, each household must purchase designated garbage bags by themselves in supermarkets or convenience stores, etc., and cannot give them away; he He also pointed out that during the epidemic, some citizens dropped masks directly into the toilet and flushed them away. They were worried that after the measures were implemented, people would also flush household waste into the toilet, causing congestion.

Regarding the problem of trash cans in building stairwells, Liang Xi said that he would communicate with the bureau to understand the feasibility of allowing the relevant practice. He emphasized that according to current requirements, every household must use designated garbage bags when discarding household waste, so as to achieve the goal of reducing waste at source and polluting at the expense of the polluter. He hopes that the bureau will set up short, medium and long-term measures to help citizens adapt.

Providing designated bags for free can result in a fine of up to NT$200,000

According to the Waste Disposal (Municipal Solid Waste Charging) (Amendment) Ordinance 2021, unless authorized by the Director of Environmental Protection, any person who supplies any designated bag or designated label for free in the course of a profit-making business commits an offence. The maximum fine at level 6 is HK$100,000 for a first conviction; the maximum fine for a second conviction is HK$200,000.
