In the early hours of the 28th, pictures circulated on the Internet showed that a large number of police officers wearing protective clothing were searching for a large pile of rubbish outside a garbage dump in Tsuen Wan District.
The pile of rubbish was dumped and spread on the pavement outside the rubbish station and the left lane of Luen Yan Street towards Sha Tsui Road. During the search, the police parked the police car on the left lane outside the rubbish station and used it at the same time. The tape surrounds the cordon.
According to the photos, the above site is believed to be a garbage collection point on Luen Yan Street.
A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" arrived at the site at about 1 am on the 28th and found that the police had left, leaving a large pile of rubbish on the pavement. The area of the rubbish pile was about 10 meters by 4 meters.
According to the rubbish station staff, when he went to work at 11 o'clock last night (27th), there was no policeman.
Some neighbours pointed out that the police searched the site last night and left about 2 hours later. However, some rubbish was left on the left lane. The workers had to move back to the pavement by hand to avoid obstructing traffic.
However, due to the fact that there is too much rubbish, the workers temporarily stopped after clearing the rubbish on the road. It is estimated that they will have to wait for the arrival of the large "pick-up trucks" to clear the rubbish.
There were also employees of nearby shops who wanted to dispose of trash and were refused. They had to wait two hours for the seal to be unblocked and were forced to finish work late.
Cheng Zhanwei, a freelance worker who has been following the grassroots for a long time, posted relevant pictures on social media at 11 o'clock in the evening on the 27th.
He pointed out in the article, "I went to Tsuen Wan to patrol the area tonight and walked to the Luen Yan Street rubbish station to see that it was surrounded by the police. I heard that the police were looking for something in the rubbish bin full of rubbish, so they dumped all the rubbish on the pavement. It also occupies a traffic lane, surrounded by a large number of middle-aged and young police officers wearing full-length protective clothing in the garbage dump to search for work, so I patrolled other stations before returning."
"We returned to Lianren Street Station at about 10:50. The police left, the rubbish was left on the ground, the enclosure was removed, and a traffic lane was blocked, but the older workers hurriedly moved the rubbish on the road back to the pedestrians. On the road, the division of labor may also be said to be the past, but it is true that there is no policeman to help manage the traffic, but the uniforms are all working elderly people. The compressed garbage is actually very heavy. Generally, the broom in the station cannot be shoveled at all. They can only use garbage shovel as a shovel... Their goal tonight can only go back to the traffic lane, and wait until tomorrow morning to find a car to wash and clean... The cleaners always live where they can be exploited at will, but the most vulnerable have to contract all the upper layers Responsibilities left over... the neighbourhood in Tsuen Wan, the smell tonight is not related to the performance of the cleaners. They have worked hard."
As for what the police searched in the garbage dump, "Hong Kong 01" is now inquiring with the police.
