(Waste) Refuse Transfer Stations in Hong Kong
Waste collection in the major urban centre of population are delivered to the refuse transfer stations (RTS) where the waste is compacted and containerized in purposely built containers for onward transportation to the strategic landfills. This method of transporting waste in bulk has reduced the overall transportation cost and greatly reduced the traffic and environmental nuisance associated with a large number of small refuse collection vehicles moving on the road. A total of seven RTSs are currently in operation.
