1. Common sense of garbage classification

On July 1, 2019, the "Shanghai Domestic Waste Management Regulations" were officially implemented. Domestic waste is classified according to "recyclables" and "hazardous waste" , "wet garbage" and "dry garbage" classification standards. Which is recyclable waste? Which is hazardous waste? Which is wet waste? Which is dry waste?

1. Hazardous waste: refers to waste batteries, waste lamps, waste medicines, waste paint and other waste Containers and other domestic wastes that cause direct or potential harm to human health or the natural environment;

2. Recyclables: refers to waste paper, waste plastics, waste glass products, scrap metal, waste fabrics, etc. Domestic waste suitable for recovery and recyclability;

3. Wet waste: perishable waste, including food waste, leftovers, expired food, melon peels and cores, flowers and green plants, Perishable biomass domestic waste such as traditional Chinese medicine residue;

4. Dry garbage: that is, other garbage, which refers to other domestic waste except recyclables, hazardous waste, and wet garbage.

The benefits of garbage classification are obvious. After the garbage is sorted, it is sent to the factory instead of the landfill, which not only saves land, but also avoids the pollution caused by landfill or incineration, and can also turn waste into treasure. In this battle between man and garbage, people turn garbage from enemies into friends.

Therefore, garbage classification and collection can reduce the amount of garbage disposal and processing equipment, reduce processing costs, reduce the consumption of land resources, and have social, economic and ecological benefits.
