Technical Visit - North
West New Territories Refuse Transfer Station
The North
West New Territories Refuse Transfer Station (“NWNT RTS”) is located at Lam
Tei, Tuen Mun and is one of the seven RTS in Hong Kong. It was designed to
handle 1,320 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day, mainly serving both the
Tuen Mun and Yuen Long districts. NWNT RTS
includes a tipping hall where the vehicle disposes of the refuse into the
live-floor hopper, and the refuse is loaded into seal-tight containers and
transported to the landfill by tractors for disposal. Since its commencement of operation in 2002,
the NWNT RTS has undergone further refurbishment and modification works. Swire
Waste Management Limited has been commissioned by the Government as the
contractor of the NWNT RTS.
