What category of garbage does medicine residue belong to? What principles should be followed in the classification of domestic garbage?

Garbage classification generally refers to a series of activities that classify, store, place and transport garbage according to certain regulations or standards and turn them into public resources. The reason why we must advocate garbage classification is mainly to increase the resource value and economic value of garbage, reduce the amount of garbage and the cost of processing, reduce the consumption of land resources, and protect our home planet. I hope everyone can start with garbage classification and contribute their own little energy.

What kind of garbage does the drug residue belong to?

In the garbage classification, medicinal residues belong to wet garbage or kitchen waste, that is, perishable garbage generated in daily life. After the used medicinal residues are processed, the decoction is usually poured out, the medicinal residues are slightly drained, and the garbage is packed and put into the wet garbage bin for recycling.

Wet garbage generally refers to leftover food, kitchen waste, melon peels and fruit cores, expired snacks, discarded flowers and plants, Chinese medicine residues and other perishable household waste.

Currently, most cities adopt the comprehensive utilization of garbage classification, which divides garbage into recyclables, other garbage, kitchen waste and hazardous waste.

The waste generated in daily life has complex components. Many cities generally classify garbage into three categories: organic, inorganic and hazardous. When comprehensive utilization is required, more detailed classification is required.

What principles should be adhered to in the classification of domestic waste?

Adhere to five principles. They are separation and use, adapting to local conditions, self-discipline, subsidies for emission reduction and penalties for over-emission, and bundling services with a focus on performance. Domestic waste classification is to reduce the amount of domestic waste disposed of by recycling useful materials, improve the purity of recyclable materials, increase their resource utilization value, and reduce pollution to the environment.

Reduce the amount of waste disposal. The classification of domestic waste reduces the amount of waste entering final disposal facilities such as landfills and incineration, reduces materials that are not conducive to landfill or incineration disposal, improves the effect of waste composting, and is conducive to the normal operation and pollution control of domestic waste treatment and disposal facilities.

It is convenient to recycle useful materials in garbage. The classification of domestic garbage can reduce the pollution of recyclable materials, improve the purity of recyclable materials, and reduce the workload of sorting recyclable materials.

Minimize pollution. Mixed collection can easily cause the mixing of high-water content, easily degradable kitchen waste, and toxic and hazardous substances in domestic waste. After classification, strict requirements can be imposed on collection containers and back-end processing according to the properties of different types of waste, which can reduce environmental pollution.

Knowledge about garbage classification

Garbage classification generally refers to a series of activities that classify, store, place and transport garbage according to certain regulations or standards and turn them into public resources. The purpose of garbage classification is to increase the resource value and economic value of garbage, reduce the amount of garbage to be processed, the cost of processing, and reduce the consumption of land resources.

Garbage can be classified into: recyclables, hazardous waste, kitchen waste, and other waste. Recyclables mainly include: waste paper, plastic, glass, metal, and cloth.

Hazardous waste includes: batteries, fluorescent tubes, light bulbs, mercury thermometers, some household appliances, expired medicines and their containers, expired cosmetics, etc.

Kitchen waste refers to food waste such as leftovers, bones, vegetable roots and leaves, fruit peels, etc. Other waste refers to difficult-to-recycle waste such as bricks, tiles, ceramics, slag, dust, and food bags (boxes).
