Land filling activities often take places in rural area for purposes of filling up ponds; leveling off uneven ground surfaces; forming site for development e.g. landscaping, roads, village houses, car parks or recreation facilities; stockpiling in the form of a fill bank; or depositing of Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials onto land as dumping ground. Illegal land filling takes places on land without proper authorization of the Government authorities or consent from the land owners/occupiers.
Fly-tipping is often associated with haphazard and casual dumping of wastes from vehicles. Most of these illegal dumping activities take place in urban built-up areas at locations with good vehicular access, such as at kerb sides or side roads branched off from main roads.
The following databases show the priority sites for tackling private land filling and fly-tipping of public concern in Hong Kong.
Disposed Construction and Demolition Materials
These priority sites for tackling private land filling and fly-tipping are under close monitoring by EPD and other government departments. If illegal disposal activity is spotted, enforcement action against offenders will be undertaken.
Combating illegal disposal activities through surveillance camera systems
The EPD has been exploring the use of surveillance camera systems in combating illegal waste disposal activities at various locations of illegal waste disposal since 2016. They are found to be useful tools in capturing essential information of fly-tipping activities (such as time of events, plate numbers of dump trucks, number of fly-tippers involved), and thus facilitating follow-up actions to prosecute fly-tippers.
