"What kind of garbage are cigarette butts?" became the focus of discussion among the five children. Some people think it is hazardous waste, others say it is other waste.

Extended information

The advantages of garbage classification are as follows:

1. Reduce space. Sort garbage, remove recyclable and non-degradable materials, and reduce the amount of garbage by more than 50%.

2. Reduce environmental pollution. Discarded batteries contain toxic substances such as metallic mercury, which can cause serious harm to humans. Waste plastics in the soil can cause crop yield reduction, so recycling can reduce harm.

3. Turn waste into treasure. One ton of waste plastic can recycle 600 kilograms of unleaded gasoline and diesel. Recycling 1,500 tons of waste paper can avoid cutting down the trees used to produce 1,200 tons of paper. Therefore, garbage recycling is both environmentally friendly and resource-saving.
