🔎"Regulated Electrical Equipment" Programme📢 Call to arrange

The government has fully implemented the "Regulated Electrical Equipment (REE)" programme since 2018, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, computers, printers, scanners, and monitors, providing statutory free removal services to provide convenient recycling channels , Properly collect old electrical appliances to be disposed of. At present, citizens who purchase "REE" can enjoy the statutory free removal service provided by the seller, and remove an old electrical appliance of the same type at home.

In addition to the "REE" program, the government has also introduced a new free collection service. If members of the public have not purchased new "REE", they can also make an appointment for the free collection service of the government operator through the recycling hotline 2676 8888 📞or  Whatsapp💬.

In addition, the public can also send the "REE" to the five regional recycling centers 🌐by themselves.

🔎GREEN@COMMUNITY 📢 Earn GREEN$

In order to strengthen support for waste reduction and recycling at the district level, the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) has established a community recycling network "GREEN@COMMMUNITY", which includes "Recycling Stations", "Recycling Stores" and "Recycling Spots". The public can send their recyclables to the GREEN@COMMUNITY recycling network🌐 for proper recycling.

GREEN@COMMUNITY will receive REE, and then arrange to transport them to suitable downstream recyclers for subsequent processing.
