The Director may from time to time, by giving notice in writing to the account-holder, impose any additional conditions or vary or revoke any conditions imposed under this section.
Where a change in the information provided to the Director in relation to a billing account occurs, the account-holder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Director in writing of the change.
The Director may revoke a billing account if the account-holder, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with subsection (7) or with any basic condition imposed in relation to the account.
If the Director is satisfied that the construction waste intended to be delivered by a person or on his behalf to a prescribed facility for disposal is generated from construction work undertaken under a contract, the Director may, on application, give approval for that person to establish an exemption account solely in respect of that contract if—
that contract has been awarded before the commencement* of this section; or
the closing date (if any) for submitting a tender for that contract is earlier than the commencement of this section. (L.N. 2 of 2005)

The Director may revoke an exemption account if the account-holder, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with any basic condition imposed in relation to the account.
Where a change in the information provided to the Director in relation to an exemption account occurs, the account-holder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Director in writing of the change.
The account-holder of an exemption account who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with subsection (9) commits an offence and is liable to a fine at level 6.
The Director may make public the information that the validity of an exemption account is limited to a specified period or the account has been revoked or has expired, in a manner the Director considers appropriate.

Where the Director has approved the application to establish a billing account solely in respect of that contract, the main contractor shall ensure that—
that billing account is used for paying any prescribed charge payable in respect of construction waste generated from construction work undertaken under that contract; and
that billing account is not used for paying any prescribed charge payable in respect of any other construction waste. (L.N. 2 of 2005)
Notwithstanding subsection (4), if in a particular case the consideration attributable to the construction work concerned as determined in accordance with that subsection is below the reasonable consideration to be expected on the open market in respect of the carrying out of such work, that subsection shall be deemed to contain a reference to the reasonable consideration described in this subsection instead of the consideration described in that subsection.
For the purpose of subsection (5), the Director may, when ascertaining the reasonable consideration in respect of the carrying out of any construction work, have regard to all or any of the following matters—
the cost or value of materials to be used in the construction work;
the cost or value of time, work and labour to be involved in the construction work;
the equipment to be used in the construction work;
such overhead costs to be incurred in relation to the construction work as the Director considers reasonable;
the reasonable profit to be expected on the open market in respect of the carrying out of the construction work;
any other factors that the Director considers appropriate.
A main contractor who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with subsection (1) commits an offence and is liable to a fine at level 5 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further daily fine of $1,000 for each day during which the offence continues.
A main contractor who, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with subsection (2) commits an offence and is liable to a fine at level 5.
This section applies to any deposit paid to the Director by an account-holder in relation to a billing account.
No interest is payable to the account-holder on the deposit and the deposit is not transferable.
The Director may apply any such deposit towards the payment of any unpaid prescribed charge or surcharge outstanding under the billing account in relation to which the deposit is paid.
The Director shall refund to an account-holder the deposit or, if it has been applied under subsection (3), the balance (if any)—
upon the closure, at the account-holder’s request, of the billing account; or
upon the revocation of the billing account. (L.N. 2 of 2005)
The Director may, on his own initiative or at an account-holder’s request, refund to the account-holder the deposit or part of it if the Director is satisfied that the deposit or that part is no longer required. (L.N. 2 of 2005)
In making a decision under subsection (5), the Director shall have regard to the factors that he considers relevant to the use of the billing account, including the amount of construction waste that the account-holder proposes to dispose of at any prescribed facility. (L.N. 2 of 2005)
The Director may at any time, by notice in writing to an account-holder— (L.N. 2 of 2005)
increase the amount required to be paid as a deposit by an amount specified in the notice; and
require the account-holder to pay the increase to the Director within the period and in the manner specified in the notice.
The Director may, on application by an account-holder, approve a steel lighter or steel hopper barge to be used as a vessel for delivering inert construction waste to a public fill reception facility for disposal.
An application must be—
made to the Director in writing and in the specified form; and
accompanied by information or documents that enable the Director to determine the maximum load of the vessel concerned for the purpose of calculating the public fill charge applicable to it.
The specified form may require that—
it be completed in a specified way;
specified information or documents be included in or attached to it; or
it be submitted in a specified manner.
The Director may, by notice in writing, require an applicant to provide, within a reasonable period specified in the notice, additional information and documents as are reasonably necessary to enable the Director to determine the application.
Where a change in the information provided to the Director under this section occurs before the determination of the application, the applicant shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Director in writing of the change unless the application has been withdrawn.
If any requirement under subsection (2), (3), (4) or (5) is not complied with, the application is to be treated as not properly made.
The Director may approve a vessel under section 11 or reject the application.
On approving the vessel, the Director shall determine the maximum load of the vessel for the purpose of calculating the public fill charge applicable to it.
The Director may reject the application if—
the vessel is not a steel lighter or steel hopper barge;
the application is not properly made; or
the information provided by the applicant in relation to the application is incorrect or misleading.
The Director shall give the applicant notice in writing of the decision to approve the vessel or reject the application. If the Director rejects the application, he shall include in the notice a statement setting out the reasons for the decision.
The Director may approve the vessel subject to such conditions as the Director considers appropriate.
Without limiting subsection (5), the Director may impose—
any basic conditions on the breach of which the Director may revoke the approval; and
any conditions of use that must be complied with for the purpose of using the vessel to deliver construction waste to a prescribed facility for disposal.
The Director may from time to time, by giving notice in writing to the account-holder, impose any additional conditions or vary or revoke any conditions imposed under this section.
Where a change in the information provided to the Director in relation to a vessel approved under this Part occurs, the account-holder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, inform the Director in writing of the change.
The Director may revoke the approval of a vessel if the account-holder, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with subsection (8) or with any basic condition imposed in relation to that approval.
A prescribed charge payable by an account-holder under this Part in respect of the construction waste delivered by him or on his behalf to a prescribed facility for disposal must be paid using a billing account established by that account-holder.
An account-holder of a billing account shall, in respect of each load of construction waste delivered by him or on his behalf to a landfill for disposal, pay to the Director a landfill charge calculated in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 1.
An account-holder of a billing account shall, in respect of each load of construction waste delivered by him or on his behalf to a refuse transfer station for disposal, pay to the Director a landfill charge calculated in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 2.
If a load of waste delivered to a landfill or refuse transfer station for disposal contains construction waste and other waste, that load is regarded as consisting entirely of construction waste for the purpose of calculating the landfill charge applicable to it.
An account-holder of a billing account shall, in respect of each load of construction waste delivered by him or on his behalf to a sorting facility for disposal, pay to the Director a sorting charge calculated in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 3.
Except as provided in subsection (2), an account-holder of a billing account shall, in respect of each load of construction waste delivered by him or on his behalf to a public fill reception facility for disposal, pay to the Director a public fill charge calculated in accordance with items (a), (b) and (c) in Part 2 of Schedule 4.
Where construction waste is delivered by a vessel approved under Part 4 to a public fill reception facility for disposal, the account-holder concerned shall, in respect of each load of construction waste so delivered by him or on his behalf, pay to the Director a public fill charge calculated on the basis of the maximum load of the vessel and in accordance with item (d) in Part 2 of Schedule 4.
For the purpose of calculating the prescribed charge payable in respect of a load of construction waste delivered by a vehicle to a prescribed facility for disposal, the weight of the waste is the difference between—
the gross vehicle weight of the vehicle recorded at the in-weighbridge of the facility before the waste has been unloaded from the vehicle; and
the gross vehicle weight of the vehicle recorded at the out-weighbridge of the facility after the waste has been unloaded from the vehicle.
If the gross vehicle weight referred to in subsection (1)(b) is not recorded because the driver of the vehicle concerned fails to stop the vehicle at the out-weighbridge of the facility after the waste has been unloaded, the weight of the waste is to be regarded as the gross vehicle weight of the vehicle referred to in subsection (1)(a).
If the gross vehicle weight referred to in subsection (1)(a) is not recorded because the driver of the vehicle concerned fails to stop the vehicle at the in-weighbridge of the facility before the waste has been unloaded, the weight of the waste is to be regarded as the permitted gross vehicle weight of the vehicle, regardless of whether the gross vehicle weight referred to in subsection (1)(b) is recorded or not.
(4) In this section, gross vehicle weight (車輛總重) and permitted gross vehicle weight (許可車輛總重) have the same meaning as in section 2 of the Road Traffic Ordinance (Cap. 374).The Director shall issue to an account-holder of a billing account a notice of demand in writing specifying the amount of any prescribed charge incurred by him on that account during the period specified in the notice.
The account-holder shall pay to the Director the specified prescribed charge within 45 days from the date of the notice and in the manner specified in the notice. (L.N. 2 of 2005)
If the amount specified in the notice is not paid as required, the account-holder is liable to pay a surcharge of 5% of the unpaid amount.
The account-holder shall pay to the Director the total amount of the unpaid prescribed charge and the surcharge within 14 days from the date on which the surcharge becomes payable.
If any unpaid prescribed charge and surcharge is not paid as required under section 18(4), the Director may suspend the billing account.
On suspending a billing account, the Director shall issue to the account-holder a final notice of demand in writing—
requiring him to pay, within 14 days from the date of that notice—
the prescribed charge and surcharge that have not been paid as required under section 18(4); and
any other outstanding prescribed charge incurred by him on that account before the suspension, whether or not that charge has become due for payment under section 18(2); and
informing him that if the final notice of demand is not settled as required, the billing account will be revoked.
The Director shall, within 14 days of the suspension of the billing account, issue to the account-holder a notice in writing informing him of the reason for the suspension.
If the Director is subsequently satisfied that the reason for suspending a billing account no longer exists, he may, with or without conditions, reinstate the account on the application of the account-holder.
If a final notice of demand is not settled as required under subsection (2), the Director may revoke the billing account.
The Director shall, within 14 days of the revocation of the billing account, issue to the account-holder a notice in writing informing him of the reason for the revocation.
On the application of the account-holder of a revoked billing account, the Director may, with or without conditions, reinstate the account if all the outstanding prescribed charges and surcharges under the revoked account have been paid.
The Director may make public the information that a billing account has been suspended, revoked, reinstated or closed, in a manner the Director considers appropriate.
The Director may specify a form for any purpose under this Regulation.
A notice by the Director under this Regulation may be given or issued—
by delivering it personally to the person to whom it is to be given or issued; or
by sending it by post to that person’s address last known to the Director.
The notice is also taken to have been given or issued under this Regulation if—
it is sent to that person by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other similar means of communication at that person’s facsimile number or electronic mail address last known to the Director; and
a record, generated by the means of transmission, establishes that the notice was so sent.
A person who, in purported compliance with a requirement under this Regulation—
makes any statement or gives any information that he knows to be incorrect in a material particular;
recklessly makes any statement or gives any information that is incorrect in a material particular; or
knowingly or recklessly omits any material particular from any statement or information,
commits an offence and is liable to a fine at level 6.
The Secretary may, by notice published in the Gazette, amend any of the Schedules.
(Omitted as spent—E.R. 5 of 2021)
If a Schedule specifies the charges to be imposed in respect of construction waste accepted for disposal at a prescribed facility, the Secretary may, by notice published in the Gazette, amend the Schedule to revise the charges.
The Secretary may, under subsection (1), set the charges at above cost recovery level.
