Overview

To strengthen the publicity and education on waste reduction and recycling and support for community recycling, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) set up the Green Outreach in 2018 to provide outreaching services to the community, educating the public about the importance of waste reduction at source, and encouraging the public to practise source separation of waste and clean recycling. Besides, they promote and assist in planning the GREEN@COMMUNITY services, and disseminating the latest information on waste reduction and recycling to the community. They also provide support to housing estates/residential buildings participating in the Programme on Source Separation of Waste, assisting them in improving their recycling facilities and arrangements, as well as providing training for property management staff and frontline cleansing workers on proper handling of recyclables. In addition, the Green Outreach plans and implements publicity and education work to promote waste reduction and recycling in the community, including launching large-scale online and offline publicity and education activities, and utilising social media and online platforms for multimedia promotion, to encourage all members of the public to integrate waste reduction and recycling into their daily lives. Furthermore, the Green Outreach has, in collaboration with non-profit-making organisations, implemented the Green Outreach Volunteer Programme to reach out to community groups of women, foreign domestic helpers and new immigrants, etc. to educate and encourage them to practise source separation of waste and clean recycling.

To further strengthen the promotion and education of waste reduction and recycling in schools, the Green Outreach launched the “We-recycle@School” Activity on 1 March 2024 to encourage students to invite their family members to actively practise resources separation and recycling together in their daily lives.
