Beijing's special inspection of garbage classification found six major problems! What are the standards for garbage classification?

Garbage classification is to put garbage into different categories, and turn it into resources again through classified transportation and recycling. Since Beijing and Shanghai have legislated and implemented garbage classification, garbage classification work has gradually been promoted in various places. However, Beijing's special inspection of garbage classification found six major problems! What are the specific problems? Why should garbage classification be promoted? What are the standards for garbage classification? Let's learn about garbage classification with Encyclopedia Knowledge Network.

What are the six major problems with garbage classification?

The Beijing Municipal Waste Classification Promotion Headquarters conducted the first on-site supervision and inspection on the implementation of the Beijing Municipal Waste Management Regulations and the progress of waste classification. The inspection team found six major problems in some communities, including damaged trash cans, no lids, and insufficient staff at some community trash can stations.

1. Large pieces of garbage are randomly piled up;

2. Some community barrel stations are not staffed by sufficient personnel;

3. Some trash cans are damaged, some are uncovered or damaged, with garbage exposed, and some trash cans have stains on their exterior. Some trash cans are mixed with other trash, and some residents throw kitchen waste into other trash cans. The garbage classification logos and notice boards at some domestic garbage disposal points are unclear;

4. The accuracy of garbage classification needs to be improved;

5. Some businesses mix and dump household waste;

6. Garbage is not transported out in time, etc.

Why do we need to sort garbage?

1. Reduce land erosion

Some materials in domestic garbage are not easily degradable, causing serious erosion of the land. Garbage sorting, removing recyclable and non-degradable materials, can reduce the amount of garbage by more than 60%.

2. Reduce pollution

China's garbage disposal mostly adopts sanitary landfill or even simple landfill, which occupies tens of thousands of acres of land; and there are flies and insects flying around, sewage overflowing, and stench, which seriously pollutes the environment.

Waste plastics in the soil can lead to reduced crop yields; discarded waste plastics are often eaten by animals, resulting in animal deaths. Therefore, recycling can also reduce harm.

3. Turning waste into treasure

Other materials in the garbage can also be converted into resources. For example, food, plants and fabrics can be composted to produce organic fertilizer; garbage incineration can generate electricity, provide heating or cooling; bricks, tiles and ash can be processed into building materials, etc.

What are the standards for garbage classification?

The categories of domestic waste are recyclables, hazardous waste, kitchen waste and other waste, and 11 subcategories. There are also categories marked with "kitchen waste", "light bulbs" and "household chemicals". Although there may be some differences in the classification of waste in some regions, the "National Waste Classification" applet has been launched. If you don't understand something, you can use this applet to check it.

Garbage classification is not only conducive to the recycling of resources, but also beneficial to the earth's environment and human health. Therefore, everyone should do a good job of garbage classification and contribute to protecting the earth.
