Extended data:

Judging from the classification methods of municipal solid waste at home and abroad, it is generally classified according to the composition and output of garbage, combined with the resource utilization and treatment methods of local garbage.

For example, Germany is generally divided into paper, glass, metal and plastic; Australia is generally divided into compostable garbage, recyclable garbage and non-recyclable garbage; Japan is generally divided into plastic bottles, recyclable plastics, other plastics, resource garbage, large garbage, combustible garbage, nonflammable garbage and harmful waste.

In China, sanitary landfill or even simple landfill is mostly used for garbage disposal, covering an area of tens of thousands of mu; Moreover, insects and flies fly around, sewage overflows and stinks, which seriously pollutes the environment.

Waste plastics in soil will lead to crop yield reduction; Waste plastics are eaten by animals by mistake, resulting in accidents of animal death. So recycling can also reduce the harm.

The benefits of garbage sorting are obvious. After sorting, the garbage is sent to the factory instead of 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 turned garbage from enemies into friends.

Therefore, classified collection of garbage can reduce the quantity and equipment of garbage disposal, reduce the disposal cost and reduce the consumption of land resources, which has social, economic and ecological benefits.
