Misunderstanding on Classification and Transportation of Domestic Waste

Since the release of Shanghai waste classification standard, people are often confused by the concepts of dry waste and harmful waste, which many people take for granted? What you do is dry garbage? Even funny jokes on the internet? What pigs can't eat is dry garbage? . Later, after the official rumor was refuted, I realized that the dichotomy between dry garbage and wet garbage, harmful waste and recyclables was originally the four quadrants of garbage classification! It can be seen that netizens are still very enthusiastic about environmental protection, but they are easy to go into misunderstanding. Let's take a look at the common misunderstandings of garbage classification.

Recyclable? Toothbrushes come into contact with saliva, and the materials are complicated, so the garbage is drained.

Toothpaste skin is not clean, there are contents, put it into dry garbage.

The old mirror is painted with mercury, which is toxic and fragile, and harmful waste is put into it.

Peanut shells can degrade compost in nature and belong to wet garbage.

Dry garbage, also known as? Other rubbish? (Residual garbage), especially garbage other than harmful waste, recyclables and wet garbage. To put it bluntly, the garbage that the other three types of trash cans don't want is dry garbage. Correct operation? Recyclable things can be remembered in a five-word formula, namely? Glass, gold, plastic, paper and clothes? I think we can add one more item? Wood? )。

Hazardous wastes are rarely produced in daily life, mainly waste batteries, waste lamps, waste medicines, waste paints and their containers.

Wet garbage mainly depends on whether it is perishable or fragile.
