Sanitary Dump G.P. [1929-????]

Date Place completed: 
c.1929-01-01 (Month, Day are approximate)

A map from the 1940s (Plate 3-5b, Mapping Hong Kong) shows this pier at the end of Fleming Road. I'm not sure exactly what the 'G.P.' stood for - 'General Pier' perhaps? It's where rubbish was loaded onto barges.

Any ideas what happened to the rubbish after that?
