The government will subsidise local companies which collect rubbish for recycling, Executive Council spokesman Leong Heng Teng said yesterday.
Leong, who announced the government’s latest subsidy during a press conference about various issues at Government Headquarters, said the subsidy would help such companies buy equipment and/or vehicles.
Each company, which must have been in business for at least a year, can apply for up to 1.5 million patacas in subsidies covering up to 50 percent of the purchase price of the equipment and/or vehicles.
