The Municipal Solid Waste Charging Scheme (Hong Kong), also known as the Waste Disposal (Charging for Municipal Solid Waste) (Amendment) Bill 2018, is a system for managing solid waste in Hong Kong. It implements legislation that takes effect on 1 April 2024. It adopts the 'polluter-pay' principle as first suggested by the government in 2005. It provides economic incentives for the general public to be aware of waste disposal volumes and reduce the waste they create by requiring individuals to purchase designated garbage bags or labels before disposing their trash. Waste reduction was seen as a way to delay expanding Municipal Solid Waste treatment facilities. Lessons were taken from experiences in cities such as Seoul and Taipei.
