Members of the public can deliver their NCTs to CCP or DCPs within the collection time listed above, while the commercial and industrial (C&I) organisations can only deliver their NCTs direct to CCP. If members of the public or C&I organisations need to recycle NCTs during 9 to 13 and 16 to 21 Jan 2023, please deliver the NCTs direct to CCP within the operating hour (9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.). Please note that the CCP will not receive yard wastes on 14 to 15 Jan 2023, and the DCPs will neither receive NCTs heighted above 2 metres nor from C&I organisations.
An e-certificate will be issued to the participants who deliver NCTs to CCP or Recycling Stations (formerly known as “Community Green Stations”) for recycling. The Participants will also receive a gift for delivering NCTs to Recycling Stations while stock lasts.
