Waste from Operation Railway


Metals

Regular maintenance of the MTR network and its rolling stock is vital to maintain high levels of service and extend working lives of components. Operations Division aims to recycle 100% of the ferrous metals generated by maintenance works. During 2001, this amounted to about 1,100 tonnes of metal.

 

Oils and Chemical Wastes

The Corporation produced 15,632 litres of waste oil and 7,132 litres of waste solvent during 2001. MTR utilises internal systems to ensure all its hazardous wastes are managed in accordance with the relevant regulations. Previously, waste oil was disposed of as chemical waste. In 2001, MTR recycled 3,154 litres of oil generated by the depots. In 2002, the oil recycling scheme will be extended to station maintenance activities.
