| During a joint departmental operation entitled "Operation E-spark" held earlier in May, the Environmental Protection Department found that four recycling sites located at Ta Kwu Ling in North District as well as San Tin and Lau Fau Shan in Yuen Long were used to illegally collect and store large quantities of chemical waste such as LCDs, cathode ray tubes and lead-acid batteries for export sale, or even dismantle LCDs. The seized waste mainly comprised LCDs, totalling around 8 000 pieces with an estimated total market export value of $1.2 million. |
