What You Should Konw About Garbage Classification?

Dec 21, 2020

What is Garbage Classification?

Garbage classification generally refers to a series of activities in which garbage is stored, put and transported in a classified manner according to certain provisions or standards so as to be transformed into public resources. The purpose of classification is to improve the resource value and economic value of garbage, and strive to make the best use of everything.

Why is it necessary to implement garbage classification？

Nowadays, with the rapid development of urbanization, finding a proper way to deal with urban garbage has become a concern of all people. Improper disposal of garbage pollutes the air, water and soil, which in turn affects human health.

The methods of garbage classification vary according to the actual situation of different regions. Suzhou city classifies garbage into Recyclables、Hazardous waste、Food Waste and Residual Waste.

What should we do to separate the garbage？

Recyclable

Mainly including waste paper, plastic, glass, metal andcloth five categories.
Waste paper: mainly including newspapers, periodicals, books, all kinds of wrapping paper and so on. However, note that paper towels and toilet paper are too water-soluble to be recycled.
Plastic: all kinds of plastic bags, plastic foam, plastic packaging (express packaging paper is other garbage/dry garbage), disposable plastic lunch box tableware, hard plastic, plastic toothbrush, plastic cups, mineral water bottles, etc.
Glass: mainly includes all kinds of glass bottles, broken glass pieces, thermos bottles and so on. (The mirror is other garbage/dry garbage)
Metal: mainly including cans, cans and so on.
Cloth: mainly includes discarded clothes, tablecloth, washcloth, schoolbag, shoes, etc.

Residual Waste

Including bricks, tiles, ceramics, muck, toilet paper, paper towels and other unrecyclable wastes and dust, food bags (boxes).

The big stick bone is listed as “other rubbish” because it is “hard to corrode”. Corn kernels, nut shells, kernels, chicken bones and so on are food waste.

Toilet paper: toilet paper, toilet paper, water soluble, not to be recycled “paper”, similar to cigarette boxes.

Food Waste

Including leftovers, bones, cabbage leaves, peel, etc.Commonly used plastic bags, even degradable ones, are far more difficult to corrode than kitchen waste. In addition,plastic bags themselves are recyclable. Instead, put kitchen waste in the bin and plastic bags in the “recyclable” bin.

Nut shell: In garbage classification, the symbol of “nut shell and melon shell” is peanut shell, which belongs to kitchen waste. Waste cooking oil used at home is also classified as “kitchen waste”.

Dust: In garbage classification, dust belongs to “other garbage”, but leaves belong to “kitchen waste”, including flowers that bloom at home.

Hazardous waste

Hazardous wastes contain heavy metals that are harmful to human health, toxic substances or wastes that cause actual or potential harm to the environment. Including batteries, fluorescent tubes, light bulbs, mercury thermometers, paint buckets, some home appliances, expired medicines and containers, expired cosmetics, etc.
