WASTE DISPOSAL (CHARGES FOR DISPOSAL OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE) REGULATION - SECT 17

Determination of weight of construction waste delivered by vehicles

(1) 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-

   (a)  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

   (b)  the gross vehicle weight of the vehicle recorded at the
        out-weighbridge of the facility after the waste has been unloaded from
        the vehicle.

(2) 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).

(3) 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).
