There will be two charging modes for MSW charging, namely “charging by designated bags/designated labels”, and “charging by weight”.
- “Charging by designated bags/designated labels”: members of the public are required to wrap their waste properly in designated bag or affix a designated label to it before disposal. This mode is applicable to most residential buildings, village houses, street-level shops and institutional premises, etc.
- “Charging by weight” : oversized waste disposed of by commercial and industrial premises will be subject to “gate-fee” based on its weight at refuse transfer stations and landfills.

The Government will gradually step up support and public education, including -
- Put in place a preparatory period to facilitate the public to get prepared
- Devote resources and strengthen community recycling network
- Launch public education and publicity activities so as to promote stakeholder engagement
- Adopt risk-based enforcement approach as the back-up
The public should also practise waste reduction at source and recycling proactively, understand the implementation arrangements and get prepared for the implementation.
