During Super Typhoon Hagasa's impact on Hong Kong, reports of fallen trees were received in many districts across the city. Various government departments were busy clearing fallen trees throughout Hong Kong, and 1,200 tons of fallen tree material were collected.

 

The Environmental Protection Department has set up temporary tree processing points in Sha Tin and Tsing Yi, and is using BANDIT wood chippers, which are distributed by our company, to process the recovered timber more quickly, conveniently and safely.

Mr. Lai , Chief Environmental Protection Officer (Facility Management) of the Environmental Protection Administration, said: "As you can see, this pile of leaves would require a whole truck to transport to the landfill if it were not shredded. After being shredded, it becomes a single bag, greatly reducing its volume. It can be stored together, turning several truckloads of material into one truckload to be transported to the landfill."

 

For thinner pieces of timber, workers sort them by type and size before feeding them into the BANDIT wood chipper. The wood chips are then transported to landfills for use as garden mulch, contributing to environmental protection. Larger pieces of timber are then transported to Y‧PARK for the manufacture of furniture or decorative items.

 

BANDIT wood chippers are easy to move, allowing for better placement of different models in different locations, without being limited to one place, offering great flexibility.

Mr. Lai said:"Although there are already three processing points, none of them are close to the city center. If we want to speed up the cleanup, the departments often have to travel long distances, which wastes a lot of time. We deliberately chose Sha Tin and Tsing Yi so that we could put the fallen trees down here in the city center and then collect them from other places."
