Since the launch in January 2005, more than 650 housing estates have signed up to join the programme, covering 840,000 households and a population of 2.5 million, representing a 36 per cent of the total population. A domestic waste recovery rate of 20 per cent was achieved in 2006 while the domestic waste loads have continued to drop, with a decrease of 3 per cent from 2005 to 2006. |
