Has anyone come across the Green @ Community "stores" that have been opening up through HK (albeit so far in mostly inconvenient locations). There's one that just opened weeks ago here in Mui Wo.
They're initiatives between the EPD and usually some local environmental group. You get a membership card and they weigh your recyclable lap sap in return for points. I've not redeemed anything yet, but apparently you can exchange for things like cooking salt. Rather, i'm pleased they give assurances that items are actually recycled; whereas even their staff comment that items thrown in recycling bins often aren't handled properly.
These "stores" take nearly everything: plastics, metal, glass, paper, electronic items, rechargeable batteries... even tetra-pack, which I had previously not known how to handle. It's also much easier than trying to squeeze these items into small (and usually full) roadside bins.
