Name: Andrew Young on Jan 26, 2011Comments: I run a number of restaurants and bars and would be able to recycle over 2000 bottles per week. We want to recycle and dont have the option - and landfill is running out quickly. Please give us the option to recycle or even better make it the law.Flag

Name: April Lai on Jan 26, 2011Comments: At the moment we have a glass collection point at Wanchai for bars and general public. Apparently the official of Dept of Food & Environmental Hygiene has shown the unlikeliness to glass renewal. In fact glass collection will not be conflicting to other assignment as the official claims in terms of the use of the space there. Such manner of "either or" emerging in HK government is NOT responsiblie to HK environment protection. Continue Wanchai glass collection point!Flag

With more & more bars & restaurants opening all over HK & glass waste increasing & being discarded in the ugliest of manners I sometimes feel ashamed to be from HK. Do something about it please! Thank You. BFlag

Name: Sharon Chandler on Feb 8, 2011Comments: Hong Kong is desperately in need of recycling. The plastic bag scenario has shown how Hong Kong people take to such things. In other countries there are such things as glass collection points, often in supermarkets so that when people arrive at the supermarket they simply drop off the bottles in the relevant bottle bank. A similar collection point could be made in many of HK's large estates or in large individual housing blocks. On Lamma and other islands, or small villages, where there are many smaller houses it could be possible to place a bottle collection bin next to the rubbish collection points. At present on Lamma there are just a few recycling collection points and yet many people would like to recycle if the collection bins were reasonably close to their existing bins.Flag

Name: Leigh Powell on Feb 8, 2011Comments: Coming from the UK where everything is recycled and now living in Hong Kong, it never feels right when i have to put glass bottles in the bin, when it is one of the most easily recyclable materials in the world. It seems crazy that a first-world city like Hong Kong is not prepared to sort this out.Flag

Name: Chris Head on Feb 9, 2011Comments: My family and I have been recycling all our aluminum cans and plastic for many years in HK. I have always been frustrated by not being able to do the same with our glass waste. I would love to have the opportunity to recycle the 1-2 wine bottles we consume each week and old jam jars etc... In the UK the government have been actively encouraging glass recycling for well over 25 years! Therefore I know the technology exists. Furthermore, now that HK has positioned it's self as Asia's leading wine center it only makes sense to follow up with a way to recycle the glass waste generated. Best regards, Chris HeadFlag
