    Hong Kong's new garbage bins and recycling subsidies / Hong Kong's falling rankings in reading

    Presenters:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re discussing recycling after an audit report found that recycling firms applying for the government subsidies may need to wait 18 months for approval.

    Critics say this long delay may make it difficult for embattled recyclers to stay afloat.
    The government also plans to phase out roadside recycling bins and give orange rubbish bins a facelift. The new style rubbish bins will have a smaller opening to try and stop people using them to throw away large items.
    So what we can do to help the local recycling industry? Will the new rubbish bins achieve their purpose? Or will people just dump their garbage directly on the streets instead.
    After 9:45, we talk about Hong Kong’s falling rankings in reading.
