Promote waste classification in Guangzhou and start again

In 2018, Guangzhou issued the country’s first policy on municipal waste classification The local regulations - "Guangzhou Municipal Domestic Waste Classification Management Regulations", in-depth promotion of waste classification work; in 2019, Guangzhou will continue to make efforts to comprehensively improve the refinement and intelligence of classification.

We need greater determination in garbage classification: garbage classification must be fully covered in residential areas (communities) in the central city, and garbage classification in property residential areas (communities) in the remaining five districts must be fully covered;

Effective efforts must be made to improve the area and expand quality: 50 administrative villages must implement domestic waste classification, 6 entire districts and 22 streets in the remaining 5 districts must promote mandatory garbage classification, 8 universities in Guangzhou University Town and 16 in Longdong University Town Colleges and universities must achieve accurate classification...

Recently, the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government have proposed to use greater determination and greater efforts to promote the implementation of various waste classification tasks, and improve the entire chain of classified placement, classified collection, and classification. Transportation, classification and treatment system, comprehensively promote the classification of domestic waste in the city.

Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee:

Waste classification starts with everyone

"Guangzhou Municipal Domestic Waste Classification Management Regulations" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") It has already been implemented for one year. As the legislative body that formulated the first local regulations on the classification of municipal domestic waste in the country, how can the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee start from itself to improve waste classification?

It is understood that long before the "Regulations" came into effect, the General Office of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress formulated the "Implementation Plan for Compulsory Sorting of Garbage in Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee", so that "garbage sorting starts with me." The slogan on the wall has become a kind of conscious action. Nowadays, the classification of domestic waste within the agency is in order, and many changes are taking place.

Walking into the office building of the Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee, there are different types of trash cans placed in different scenes. There are classified garbage bins placed outdoors at regular intervals. There are four colors of garbage cans on the floor, divided into "hazardous garbage", "food waste", "recyclables" and "other garbage". It can be seen that the trash can is rinsed and wiped frequently and is relatively clean overall. The classification in the barrels is basically correct, and there are a lot of "recyclables", including paper, plastic bottles, etc.

At lunch time, the staff lined up to sort and put away the garbage after eating. It went through almost 7 steps - chopsticks, spoons, trays and soup bowls had their own places to put them in the "food waste" bin After disposing of food residues, disposable lunch boxes and contaminated paper should be placed in the "other garbage" bucket, and milk cartons and Coke bottles should be placed in the "recyclables" bucket. The entire process was unguided.

“The trash cans are divided into different categories. It’s embarrassing to throw the wrong trash in. Over time, it becomes a habit and you won’t throw the wrong trash in.” said a staff member interviewed. A staff member from another unit who often comes to the National People's Congress for meetings said that here they habitually check "whether there are any errors", so it is important to create a good garbage classification atmosphere.

It is understood that the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress has established a leading group for the classification of government waste within the government in order to establish and improve the normal working mechanism for garbage classification within the government. In addition to improving garbage classification facilities, we are also working hard in many "invisible places" to strictly comply with the city's garbage classification standards to achieve full coverage of domestic waste classification.

The agency has established a garbage classification ledger to standardize the collection and classification of garbage at scheduled times and at fixed points. It usually contacts the municipal, district, street and other garbage classification authorities for on-site guidance. When collecting recyclables in a unified manner, the types and quantities will be recorded. For food waste, hazardous waste and other waste that need to be collected and transported in a classified manner, the urban management and sanitation department in the jurisdiction will be entrusted to organize the classified collection and transportation.

Another purpose of classifying garbage well is to reduce the waste of various resources and reduce garbage from the source. Therefore, we should also encourage everyone to consciously classify and separate and recycle resource-based garbage. In terms of daily office work, we promote paperless office, fully implement double-sided printing of paper, and encourage reuse. At the same time, we will implement the call to practice economy and combat food waste and reduce the generation of food waste.

Garbage classification education:

Popularizing knowledge into summer parent-child activities

Vigorously promoting the classification of domestic waste is related to the construction of ecological civilization and sustainable development in Guangzhou important work. In order to create a good atmosphere for everyone to participate, the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee used a variety of publicity methods to produce H5 animations to strengthen the publicity of garbage classification.

Last year, the Party Branch of the Municipal People’s Congress Standing Committee’s Institutional Affairs Center also carried out interactive publicity and on-the-job training activities on “Garbage Classification, Start with Me” in the office building. Through performances of three scenes including on-site placement, registration and sorting and transportation, we will deepen everyone's understanding of garbage classification.

Garbage classification should also start with babies. The Party Branch of the Standing Committee's Organ Affairs Center also organized a summer vacation parent-child activity with this theme. More than 20 children aged 3-12 who participated in the activity were asked to collect the corresponding domestic garbage and photos according to the color of the classification of domestic garbage. On the day of the activity, the children used the collected "garbage" to work together in groups to complete the work of "garbage sorting robot" and design a handwritten newspaper with the theme of domestic garbage classification. The children were very interested in this activity, and everyone actively used their imagination. During the activity, they enhanced their awareness of responsibility for the classification of domestic waste, developed the habit of garbage classification, and took this good habit home and spread it to every family. member.

Bitan Village, Xiancun Town, Zengcheng District:

After two years of garbage classification, the village has become beautiful and the people have changed.

Following a road and driving into Bitan Village, you will see pools of water, green trees and neat streets of village houses. More than two years ago, most villagers never expected that seemingly simple garbage classification could bring such a huge change. From the slovenliness of everything in the past to the park scenery now, many villagers have regarded garbage sorting and village sanitation as part of their lives, and they are quite proud to work together to create a clean and beautiful countryside.

Nowadays, garbage classification has become a topic for everyone to chat after dinner, but Zhao Jingzhi, secretary of the Party branch of Bitan Village, recalled, "It is not easy for villagers to form the habit of garbage classification, but now it seems Everything is worth it. "From improving facilities, publicity and education to villagers' efforts and changes in village appearance... Bitan Village has explored a lot of its own garbage classification experience.

In 2017, Bitan Village, Xiancun Town, Zengcheng District, became a pilot project for rural domestic waste classification to promote waste classification. "Now the sanitary environment is much better, and everyone is embarrassed to litter." Zhao Weibo is an old neighbor in the village and has lived in Bitan Village for many years. He recalled that in Bitan Village in the past, whether it was the pond, the street, or in front of the house, garbage could be thrown everywhere and just wait for the land to "degrade" it. “Garbage sorting is a very unfamiliar concept,” he said.

“But now, there are ready-made sorting bins at home, and the garbage in rural areas is not complicated, so it can be sorted easily.” Zhao Weibo said that in Bitan Village, after sorting at home, , sanitation staff will conduct classified collection at 8 a.m. every day.

Not only that, shortly after the implementation of garbage classification, Bitan Village also started a sanitation evaluation activity for every household and established a village honor and disgrace list. "5 points is a qualified line, including garbage classification and sanitation environment." Most people actively participated in the evaluation.”

Because of this kind of publicity and encouragement, now 311 households in the village have classified trash cans in front of their houses with the support of all parties in the society. Comes with pliers. “Many conscious villagers will use pliers to sort garbage and put it in the trash can when they see it around.” Now, for Zhao Weibo and most villagers, garbage classification is like a new living habit. “Not sorting makes me feel uncomfortable.” He told reporters that it is rare to see garbage on village roads now. "If anyone wants to throw garbage randomly, they may be looked at strangely by the people nearby, because everyone knows that this is wrong."

He still remembers that before 2016, you had to step on chicken excrement to enter the village, and everything was unsightly. The former Bitan Village villagers They are not aware of the impact of garbage on the village environment.

However, the "smallness" of Bitan Village has become a major advantage in carrying out garbage classification. The reporter observed that there are only 311 households in Bitan Village.

Bitan Village also uses the village radio to promote garbage classification, often sharing relevant knowledge about garbage classification through the radio, and advocating that every household should "carefully improve personal and family hygiene."

“Bitan Village distributed at least 700 leaflets and spray-painted no less than 5 wall paintings. Slogans of garbage classification can be seen everywhere in the village.” Zhao Jingzhi shared, “Later, Bitan Village also carried out a A series of publicity activities and continuous publicity are gradually improving villagers’ awareness of garbage classification.” It is understood that the awareness rate of villagers in Bitan Village about domestic garbage classification has reached more than 90%.
