SortHK

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.
