What is garbage classification?

Generally refers to a series of activities that classify, store, place and transport garbage according to certain regulations or standards, thereby transforming it into public resources. Garbage can be divided into recyclables, other garbage, kitchen waste and hazardous waste.

The purpose of garbage classification: to increase the resource value and economic value of garbage, and to reduce the amount of garbage processed and the use of processing equipment.
