Gate-fee System

There are two types of "gate-fee" accounts, i.e. "Type A Account" and "Type B Account".


Type A Account

Mainly targets at companies or individuals with refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) registered under their name, e.g., private waste collectors (PWCs)

  • "Type A Account" holders can transport waste to waste disposal facilities for disposal using the registered vehicles under their accounts
  • Pay deposit according to the no. of registered vehicles
  • Property management companies and cleansing contractors could directly hire PWCs holding "Type A Account" to collect and dispose of waste on their behalf
  • The EPD will issue monthly statements to account holders by mail or email

Type B Account

Mainly targets at large scale waste producers (i.e., premises that generate large amount of daily waste, e.g., large facilities, factories, shopping centres, etc.)

  • Pay deposit according to the no. of e-chits required
  • "Type B Account" holders could engage vehicles registered under "Type A Account" to dispose of waste at waste disposal facilities
  • The drivers of the concerned vehicles are required to present the e-chits provided by the abovementioned "Type B Account" holders when entering the waste disposal facilities, allowing the weighbridge computer systems to record the "gate-fee" directly into the accounts of the "Type B Account" holders. Relevant fees will be charged directly to the "Type B Account" holders through the issuance of monthly statements
  • E-chits are only applicable to "Type B Account"
  • The EPD will issue monthly statements to account holders by mail or email
