Recycling Programmes and Other Initiatives

The Force engages the service of waste paper collection provided by contractor every year. Conspicuously-labelled 'recycle green boxes' were placed in formations to collect waste paper for recycling. The three-coloured waste separation bins for collection of waste papers, aluminium cans and plastic bottles were widely distributed in Police premises. 27 Force premises have joined the Programme on Source Separation of Commercial and Industrial Waste organised by the Environmental Protection Department.

To promote energy conservation and environmental friendliness in new police premises, the Force aimed at achieving the “Gold” rating under the Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM) Plus (New Building) certification conferred by the Hong Kong Green Building Council for the new Kowloon East Regional Headquarters and Operational Base cum Ngau Tau Kok Divisional Police Station, and the new Annex Building of Police Sports and Recreation Club projects.
