South East New Territories Landfill, Waste management facility in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong
The South East New Territories Landfill is a waste management facility in Sai Kung District designed to handle construction and demolition materials. The site spans a large area and processes significant quantities of building waste each day.
The facility emerged from a construction project that began in the early 1990s and opened for operations the following year to address the region's disposal needs. It was developed as part of Hong Kong's broader waste management strategy.
The facility represents Hong Kongs approach to urban waste management as one of three strategic landfills serving the territorial waste disposal needs.
The site is located in Sai Kung District and accessed via local roads, with vehicles needed for waste delivery. Keep in mind that access is restricted since this is an active operational facility.
Environmental monitoring systems at the landfill track water quality both above and below ground while managing landfill gas through specialized collection infrastructure.
