Tung Chung housing estate was surprised to find a waste hill.

A neighbourhood in Yingdong Village found that a garbage collection station next to the parking lot has seen a large amount of construction and household waste in recent months. At the most exaggerated time, the garbage pile is as high as an adult. A district councillor quoted the neighbourhood as saying that foreign vehicles deliberately abandoned construction waste and left. , Suspected of involving the renovation works of private units, request the Housing Department to send additional manpower to monitor.

The Housing Department responded that it has temporarily arranged a security day to stand guard. Once someone is found to have illegally dumped construction waste, it will not rule out the report.


Neighbors witnessed foreign vehicles entering the site dumping waste

There are a total of four Yingdong Villages where there is a waste hill. They have been completed after 2018 and have been occupied one after another. The housing estates are adjacent to the Home Ownership Yu Nga Court, the private housing estate The Visionary, the East Ring and the Caribbean Coast. According to the information from the Housing Department, the parking lot of the housing estate is opposite. The location involved near the gate has been designated as a "furniture waste collection station", but construction waste is not allowed to be dumped.

The Islands District Councillor Fang Longfei said that in recent months, he continued to receive reports from neighbourhoods that the garbage collection point was often dumped by construction waste. He had visited the site and took pictures and found that the construction waste in the garbage dump was as high as 1.6 meters at its most exaggerated height, which is equivalent to one. The height of an adult is all-encompassing as seen in the photos, including wooden strips or wooden pallets, mud heads that are suspected of unpacking, and broken toilets. Even bicycles have been dumped on waste dumps.

He cited the neighbourhood as saying that the problem has lasted for many months, and he has even witnessed a foreign vehicle entering the parking lot, dumping construction waste and leaving in a hurry. Obviously the waste has nothing to do with the village. It is suspected that the nearby private housing estate was bought by the owner. It was refurbished and all the old devices were discarded. It is not ruled out that some people are greedy for convenience and save money, so they are dumped within the garbage collection station of Yingdong Village.

Housing Department: Dispatch Security Day on Guard and Surveillance

Once someone is found dumping construction waste, they should be immediately handed over to the law enforcement department to make a ticket for deterrence. The relevant discussion is today (29 Japan) Discussed at the Tourism, Agriculture, Fisheries, Environmental Sanitation and Climate Change Committee of the Islands District Council.

The Housing Department responded that with regard to the illegal dumping of construction waste, the Yingdong Village Office has arranged for security guards to stand guard at the collection point all day. In case of non-cooperation, the office will report to the police.

In addition, the Housing Department is currently investigating changing the loading/unloading berth between Yingyue Building and Yingqu Building into a temporary furniture waste collection point to replace the current collection point.

After the relevant feasibility study is completed, the Yingdong Village Office will contact the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to conduct the first phase of operational testing so that the relevant plan can be implemented as soon as possible.
