Starting from 1st January, plastic products (except polystyrene) with identification codes No. 1 to 6, including plastic bottles of drinks and cleaning products, bubble wrap, foam net of fruit packaging, cling film, plastic food bags, etc., can be recycled. You may first clean them and bring them to the following collection points (Chinese and Portuguese only): https://www.dspa.gov.mo/ecofunweb/tc/1station.aspx
To reduce construction material waste and to promote waste reduction from the source, the Administrative Regulation No. 22/2020 《Construction Material Waste Management Regime》will enter into force on 17th January 2021. Regulations on the classification, transport, dumping, deposition, treatment, final destination of construction material waste are established. Dumping fee will be needed according to the nature and amount of the construction material waste. Both construction industry and the public should pay attention to this new regime, and try to reduce waste in large-scale construction and household refurbishment. Please refer to the webpage below for details (Chinese and Portuguese only):
