SortHK

Know where everyday items go in Hong Kong. Scan or search, follow clear preparation steps, and find nearby collection points that accept your item.

Know where it goes, how to prepare it, and where to take it.

SortHK gives you clear, Hong Kong-specific recycling and disposal guidance for everyday items. Take a photo or search by name, and SortHK helps you work out what to do next.

With SortHK, you can:

• Identify an item from a photo • Search using familiar names such as “Mouse” or “Milk carton” • See whether an item can be recycled, needs special collection, or belongs in general waste • See when different parts of an item need different disposal routes • Follow relevant preparation steps, such as taping rechargeable battery terminals • Find nearby collection points that accept the relevant item type

Built for Hong Kong

SortHK uses Hong Kong-specific recycling and disposal rules and collection-point data. It covers everyday recyclables as well as harder-to-sort items such as electronics, rechargeable batteries, composite packaging and products made from multiple materials.

AI identifies. SortHK decides.

AI is used only to help identify an item from a photo. The disposal guidance itself comes from SortHK’s source-backed Hong Kong rules, rather than an AI-generated disposal answer.

Find a compatible collection point

SortHK prioritises collection points that accept the relevant item type, rather than simply showing the closest location.

Simple and private

• No account required • English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese • Photos are not saved by SortHK • Location is used only when you ask for nearby collection points

Whether you’re sorting household waste, clearing out electronics or trying to recycle an unfamiliar item, SortHK helps you make a clearer decision.
