Temporary service arrangements for O·PARK1 announced
****************************************************
A spokesperson for the EPD said that one of the food waste storage tanks at O·PARK1, located in Siu Ho Wan on Lantau Island, was found to be leaking and requires urgent repair. Consequently, the reception of food waste at O·PARK1 has been temporarily suspended. The affected food waste will be received and treated by other facilities, including O·PARK2 located in Sha Ling, North District. The EPD has proactively contacted the affected food waste producers and collectors regarding the above arrangements.
The EPD has requested the contractor of O·PARK1 to expedite the repair work and conduct detailed inspections of other food waste storage tanks to prevent the reoccurrence of similar incidents. The EPD will continue to provide updates to the affected food waste producers and collectors based on the progress of the repair work at O·PARK1 and the latest developments, to ensure that food waste collection and transportation services continue to operate smoothly.
