Not only does it affect the surrounding environment, but it is also prone to the problem of sewage dripping during garbage collection and transportation. Therefore, when putting perishable garbage, it is necessary to drain the water, put it into a special garbage bag, and tie the bag tightly. Perishable trash cans should be covered to avoid polluting the surrounding environment.

The third category is recyclable garbage, including waste paper, waste plastics, waste metals, waste packaging materials, waste textiles, waste electrical and electronic products, waste glass, waste paper aluminum-plastic composite packaging and so on.
