How to classify garbage?
According to official reports, we can know that Beijing's garbage classification standard adopts a four-point method, that is, recyclables, harmful waste, kitchen garbage and other garbage, and the corresponding garbage bins have four colors: blue, red, green and gray.
Among them, recyclable materials can be recycled. Our common recyclable garbage includes newspapers, plastic bottles, cans, glass bottles, old clothes, old toys and so on. Hazardous waste is harmful to our health and environment. Our common harmful waste includes expired drugs, waste thermometers, waste lamps, cosmetics and so on. Simply put, kitchen waste is the waste produced in the kitchen. Our common kitchen waste includes leftovers, plants, expired food, fruits and peels. Other garbage refers to garbage that does not belong to the above three categories. People often come into contact with plastic bags, plastic wrap, disposable chopsticks, toilet paper, diapers and so on.
What is the significance of garbage sorting?
Improve the living environment and promote people's health.
The massive output of garbage makes the environmental and health problems increasingly prominent. Random disposal, simple stacking and disposal of garbage will lead to many problems, such as destroying a good living environment, polluting water, soil, air and other environments, causing a large number of mosquitoes and bacteria to breed, increasing the probability of infectious diseases and so on. The implementation of garbage classification can improve our living environment and reduce the pollution of garbage to the environment, thus ensuring people's health.
Save resources and improve economic benefits.
The massive output of garbage has caused a great waste of resources. The implementation of garbage classification is to fully sort out the recyclables in garbage. If the recyclable wastes are collected, the sources of garbage can be greatly reduced, and the collected recyclable materials can be turned into valuables, which can effectively promote the recycling of resources and produce considerable economic benefits. Garbage classification is to sort out kitchen waste from garbage, compost and ferment the separated kitchen waste, and make the organic components in it into fertilizer for farmland and greening. After the kitchen waste is separated, the remaining waste is burned. Without soup and water, garbage will burn more fully and recover more heat energy resources. Different disposal methods of different garbage can greatly reduce the final landfill volume, greatly save landfill space and reduce environmental pollution.
