“HoHoSkips” Collection Booking
Rules for Users

  1. Segregate construction waste into inert and non-inert waste correctly in advance.
    • * Inert construction waste includes rock, rubble, boulder, earth, soil, sand, concrete, asphalt, brick, tile, masonry or used bentonite
    • * Non-inert construction waste includes bamboo, wood, plants, glass, packing waste, and other organic and metallic materials
  2. Put loose or fragmented construction waste in bags, which must be tied securely before using the service.
  3. If construction waste contains sharp objects (e.g., boards with nails, large shards of broken glass), please pre-treat such wastes, such as removing or hammering-flat the nails and breaking the glass into finer pieces, to minimize the risk of injuring waste sorters.
  4. Construction waste should not contain any liquid wastes, such as paints that are still in liquid form.
  5. Please divide the construction wastes into multiple bags for easier handling. Each bag should not exceed 25 kg to minimize the risk of injury during handling. Additionally, bags should not be overfilled (suggest to fill up to half to two-thirds of the bag's capacity) to prevent bags tearing and polluting the surrounding environment.
  6. If pieces of construction waste are exceptionally large in size (e.g., exceeding 2 meters in size, which makes on-site weighing difficult), please indicate under the supplementary information column or provide photos of waste when making a booking. During the booking confirmation call, please discuss suitable pre-treatment measures, such as dismantling large items into smaller pieces, with the collector.
  7. For each service transaction, no more than half the volume of a skip (around 40 bags or 1 tonne) is accepted.
  8. Show up at the collection points on time and place inert and non-inert construction waste as directed by the recycler (e.g. on weighing equipment).
  9. When setting a customize location for collection, please ensure the location is suitable for parking and waste exchange. Should you wish to book for a skip lorry for collection, ensure the location is large enough for parking a skip lorry, approximately requiring two parking spaces.
  10. Call the recycler to change a more suitable time or location if it is unable to stop for collection at the booked time and collection point due to heavy traffic or other factors.
  11. Move construction waste into the vehicle in case only recycler driver is at scene and no recycler workers are present.
  12. If the construction waste is mixed with inert and non-inert waste, it shall be deemed as non-inert construction waste for payment. If situation allows, mixed construction waste after segregation can be charged according to the type of construction waste.
  13. Each premises can only use the service up to three times per month.
  14. If a user cancels three bookings consecutively without valid reasons, the collector may temporarily suspend the user from making new bookings for up to three months.
  15. The contract value of the involved project must be less than $1 million to use the service. Otherwise, the contractor is required by the law to open a billing account for the contract for disposal at government waste disposal facilities and shall dispose of the construction waste themselves.
  16. The recycler only accepts construction waste. If only furniture is to be disposed of, members of the public should dispose of it to the public refuse collection points managed by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department for disposal. Details can be found here.
