NEW TERRITORIES REFUSE DUMP BEING IMPROVED

The final phase of a project to tidy up the Shuen Wan refuse

dump off Ting Kok Road near Taipo will be launched next year.

The work will involve construction of a rubble mound to contain

the refuse dump so as to eliminate the possibility of refuse escaping

into the sea and causing marine pollution.

When completed in early 1975, the rubble mound, which will cover

an area of 2,100 square feet, will be suitable for recreational development.

At present, improvements at the refuse dump are made by blanketing

over the dung with earth and instituting a regular maintenance cycle,

The rubble mound project has been designed by the Port Works

Division of the Public Works Department which will supervise the work.
