Collection. There were collected and delivered to Depots:
(i) from City of Victoria, including Hill district and outlying residences (all of which were collected by motor lorries, except 559.5 tons which were collected by hand carts at Aberdeen).
(ii) from Kowloon including Kowloon Tong and Kowloon City (all of which were collected by motor lorries, except 2,346 tons which were collected by hand carts in Kowloon).
Total
(or 275.4 tons per day).
63,078 tons.
37,455.5 tons.
100,533.5 tons.
In addition some 3.467 tons of refuse were collected in rural districts (including Aplichau and Shaukiwan) and burnt in incinerators.
Removal. Some 135,603 tons (370.5 tons per day) were received at the depots. The difference between this figure and the figures shown as collected is due to a large quantity of refuse taken to the depots by private firms and individuals. Practically all the refuse from the City of Victoria was taken to sea and dumped.
A new refuse dump was formed at Ma Tau Kok for the reception of refuse from the east side of the Kowloon Peninsula. All Kowloon refuse, some 47,926.5 tons, was dumped either there or at the Cheung Sha Wan dump.
Cost. The cost of refuse collection and removal is shown in Table IV.
The cost of collection for Hong Kong shows a decrease as compared with 1931 due mainly to savings on standing charges and lower cost of petrol. The cost of collection for Kowloon shows a decrease also as compared with 1931 due mainly to the same reasons as in Hong Kong and also to a saving in haulage due to the formation of a refuse dump at Ma Tau Kok in April. The increased cost of removal is due to the extensive overhaul of one launch,
