Community Green Stations
In May 2013, the Environment Bureau published “Hong Kong Blueprint for Sustainable Use of Resources 2013–2022” (“The Blueprint”) setting out the target to reduce the per capita disposal rate of municipal solid waste (MSW) by 40% by 2022. To achieve this target, Hong Kong people should make concerted efforts to put the new green culture of “Use Less, Waste Less” into practice and treasure the resources on earth. The government will develop a Community Green Station (CGS) in each of the 18 districts, which will be operated by non-profit-making organisations to enhance environmental education and help collect different types of recyclables (especially those of low economic value recyclables including electrical appliances, computers, glass beverage bottles, compact fluorescent lamps and tubes, rechargeable batteries, etc.) in the local community, with a view to promoting green living at the community level. This is to, on the one hand encourage more public participation in waste reduction and recovery to increase the quantity of materials recovered and, on the other hand, promote the “Recycle Clean” concept to enhance both quality and quantity of the recyclables collected.

EcoPark Visitor Centre
The Visitor Centre (hereinafter "the Centre"), with an area of 1,000 square meter, is situated in the South Wing of the Administration Building of EcoPark. It is the first large-scale education resource centre in Hong Kong with the theme of municipal waste. The primary purpose of the Centre is to provide information about waste management and waste reduction to the visiting public through educational promotion and outreaching programmes, with a view to arousing community awareness on relevant environmental issues, and improving the environmental ethic within the community. The ultimate goal of the Centre is to find a long-term solution for the environmental problem so that a clean, thriving and sustainable city can be developed.
The Centre consists of 8 zones, including Waste Corridor, Movie Area, 1:1 3-D Landfill Model, 3Rs Zone, Product Gallery, Reflection Pond and Group Game Zone. With interesting 3-D technology, advanced multimedia design, interactive games and movies demonstrating the importance of environmental protection, visitors' understanding of municipal solid waste management in Hong Kong and environmental awareness can be enhanced, encouraging them to rethink about 3Rs - "Reduce", "Reuse" and "Recycle" and put green living style into practice.
