IAM sets up 60 temporary collection points for large unwanted furniture items

To facilitate the public’s disposal of large unwanted furniture items, the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) will set up 60 temporary collection points for large unwanted furniture items in the different districts of Macao from 1 to 7 May. Out of the 60 temporary collection points, 50 are located in the Macao Peninsula, 6 are located in Taipa and 4 are located in Coloane. IAM urges the public to dispose of unwanted furniture items properly at the specified time period and locations to avoid affecting environmental hygiene, as well as pedestrian and traffic safety.

The public can dispose of large unwanted furniture items at the temporary collection points from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. from 1 to 7 May. Signs will be installed at the collection points so that the public can identify them. The detailed locations can be obtained by scanning the QR code on the poster or browsing the IAM Environment Information Webpage (www.iam.gov.mo/macaohygiene). To avoid accumulation of garbage, IAM will coordinate with the cleaning contractor to increase the number of staff and vehicles to remove the unwanted furniture items at the collection points within the night.

IAM urges the public to dispose of unwanted furniture items at the mentioned time and locations. They should not casually place the items on public streets to avoid affecting environmental hygiene and obstructing the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. Meanwhile, they should ensure that the disposed furniture items are placed securely to prevent accidents. Improper disposal of garbage is punishable by fine. The public can also transport unwanted furniture items to legal locations for disposal by themselves or through cleaning companies if needed.
