The city’s environmental chief said reminders and warnings will be issued to those who violated the waste charging scheme during the six-month phasing-in period following the enactment of the law. The bill will require residents to pay for bags in which to dump their waste. The charge is 11 cents a liter, meaning the price of a 10-liter bag will be HK$1.10. He noted that some property management companies have raised concerns about possible conflicts with residents over the new waste-charging scheme, and the difficulties in identifying violators of it. The government will also hand out free bags to the public so they can adapt to the mechanism, Wong added.
