REFUSE-DUMPERS ENDANGER LIVES
***
PEOPLE WHO DUMP LITTER AND REFUSE ON THEIR DOORSTEPS, ARE RISKING THE IR OWN LIVES AS WELL AS THOSE OF OTHERS.
REFUSE FROM HOUSEHOLDS, FACTOR IES AND SHOPS IS DUMPED WITHIN A FEW FEET OF ITS SOURCE IN CORRIDORS OUTSIDE APARTMENT DOORS AND EVEN IN CORNERS OF FACTORY WORK-AREAS.
J
SOME SHOPKEEPERS HAVE THE BAD HABIT OF DUMPING REFUSE ON THE PAVEMENT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR SHOPS, NOT REALISING THAT IT WILL AFFECT THE IR BUSINESSES.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CLEAN HONG KONG CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY UNIT STRESSED TODAY (FRIDAY) THAT COMBUSTIBLE RUBBISH SUCH AS DISCARDED WOOD, CARDBOARD CARTONS AND PLASTIC PRODUCTS CONSTITUTE A SERIOUS FIRE RISK.
+ IT IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE CASUALLY DISCARDED CIGARETTE-END OR A SPARK FROM A FAULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, HE SAID.
+KITCHEN WASTE DUMPED IN THE CORRIDOR AND BACK STAIRCASE IS UNHYGENIC= IT ATTRACTS FLIES AND RATS WITH THE RESULTANT POSSIBILITY OF DISEASE.+
HE URGED PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT CLEAN BY REGULARLY DISPOSING OF THEIR REFUSE AND WASTE PROPERLY.
+ IF THE PUBLIC WERE TO TAKE JUST A FEW MINUTES EVERY DAY TO CLEAN THE IR PREMISES. IT WOULD MEAN A BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING AND WAY OF LIFE FOR ALL, HE ADDED.
