Garbage trucks in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Full-size garbage trucks in Hong Kong do not have a published price list in the sources we checked. The price depends on the chassis, the body volume, the year and whether you buy or rent. The quickest way to a current figure is a request on BlaBlaPrice: sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms.

What the price depends on

• Buying or renting: the two are priced differently, so say which you want.
• Loading type (for example rear or side loading) and body volume in cubic metres.
• Chassis make, year and mileage.
• Condition of the body and the loading mechanism.

Prices are quoted per vehicle, so send the same details to each seller to compare offers.

Rules to check before you buy

The Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap. 354) regulates the collection, storage and disposal of waste, so a refuse vehicle has to suit that work. Hong Kong's Vehicle Safety Standards set out what vehicles must meet and which modifications are allowed, and the government publishes vehicle safety recall information. Ask the seller for the vehicle's documents and confirm any body modification before you pay.

Season and timing

Hong Kong has a northern-hemisphere climate: summer runs from June to August and winter from December to February. November is the last month before the warm season starts, so a truck ordered now can be delivered and checked before June. Domestic waste per person in Hong Kong is high compared with Asian cities at a similar stage of development, according to a government review, so the vehicle must work reliably through the hot months.

Delivery and how it is bought here

Name the city where the truck will work: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun. State the body volume in cubic metres and the payload in kilograms or tonnes, because capacity is compared in these units. Ask whether the price includes delivery to your depot and a first service check.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, which loading type you need, the chassis make and year, the mileage limit and the condition you accept. Add the city and your budget. A photo of the current body helps sellers quote accurately. The more exact the description, the more useful the offers.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the truck in your own words in a chat, and the request is free for buyers. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. Sellers registered here reply with their offer, and you can also send the request link to local sellers yourself.
