Green Service - After the Event

(I) Recyclers

Individuals and organisations who are interested in promoting and organising materials recovery and recycling programmes can look for suitable recyclers in the “Hong Kong Collector/ Recycler Directory” for collecting recyclables such as food waste, glass bottles, wood, waste paper, metals, plastics and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) banners for reuse, upcycling/recycling. For details, please refer to the "Hong Kong Collector/Recycler Directory".

Regarding the leftovers, event planners can donate the food to the food recycling banks or non-profit making organisations. In addition, if the event is a running race/marathon, the organiser can donate the surplus running T-shirts.

(II) Social Enterprises

The Government is committed to promoting the development of social enterprises (SEs) to create employment opportunities for the disadvantaged to help them to be self-reliant. It provides a new channel for people from different sectors and organisations to meet the needs of different community groups with innovative approaches, with a view to fostering a new caring culture and enhancing social harmony. The table below shows the social enterprises which are engaged in recycling and second-hand store businesses and interested in receiving donations of materials. Event planners can contact suppliers/social enterprises/charities to arrange for donation, reusing or recycling of the materials after the event. For details, please refer to the information on SEs.
