A speech on the treatment and classification of domestic garbage, preferably original

The website system is being upgraded and maintained. The content page is temporarily not displayed. We apologize for the inconvenience caused!

On the street, we often see two trash cans placed side by side. One is labeled "Recyclable" and the other is labeled "Non-recyclable." However, reporters conducted investigations in Nanjing Confucius Temple, Xinjiekou, Hunan Road and other places and found that not a single trash can on the street had correctly classified garbage. 80% of the citizens interviewed admitted that when they throw away garbage, they do not think of sorting it first; 60% of the people do not know what kind of garbage is recyclable.

What is unexpected is that in 2000, Nanjing was included in the eight pilot cities for waste classification in the country, but it has not yet implemented domestic waste classification. In Nanjing's three major garbage dumps, thousands of people carrying rakes have been searching for treasures in the smelly garbage dumps for a long time. The person in charge believes that these people have achieved resource reuse to a certain extent, but this is not the orderly, formal, and instrumental garbage classification and recycling method advocated by the government. Express reporter Zhong Xiaomin

When throwing away garbage, have you ever seen the logo on the trash can?

Do people who throw garbage use classified trash cans in vain? "One is obviously marked 'recyclable' and the other is marked 'non-recyclable', but there are plastic bottles in both trash cans. The garbage is completely Mixed." A few days ago, Mr. Wang, a Nanjing citizen, called the Express and said that the classified trash cans on the streets were useless.

In the past few days, the reporter conducted an investigation into this phenomenon reported by reporter Mr. Wang. In the Confucius Temple scenic area, due to the constant flow of tourists, there is also a lot of garbage. The trash cans were marked "recyclable" and "non-recyclable", but the reporter found that the garbage in each trash can was mixed. In just 2 minutes, 8 people threw plastic bottles into the "non-recyclable" trash can.

In Xinjiekou and Hunan Road, the reporter found that the classified trash cans were not only marked with the words "recyclables" and "non-recyclable", but also clearly marked "paper, plastic, metal, glass", etc. The words belong to recyclable garbage. In order to let everyone know the role of classifying garbage, there is a slogan on each trash can. The "non-recyclable garbage" buckets are marked with "Beautifying the environment starts with me", and the "recyclable garbage" buckets are always marked with "Garbage classification for the benefit of mankind". However, from the south to the north of the city, the reporters saw mixed garbage in the classified trash cans.

From a certain perspective, classified trash cans have not played their due role and have become decorations.

6 Adults Can’t Distinguish the Types of Garbage. At a trash can near No. 55 Hongwu North Road, the reporter “sited” for half an hour and found that most people threw their Coke bottles and toilet paper into the trash can. However, few people will stop and take a look at which trash can is filled with recyclables and which trash can is filled with non-recyclable garbage.

Among the 40 citizens interviewed, 32 people admitted that they did not consider sorting the garbage first when throwing away garbage. A mother told reporters that she never allowed her children to litter, but she did not ask her children to sort the garbage because she did not pay much attention to it.

Some citizens "justified" themselves, saying that the main reason why they did not throw away garbage was because the trash cans were messy. They saw others littering and followed suit.

“I only know that plastic bottles and waste newspapers are recyclable.” During the interview, Ms. Li said that she knew a little about “recyclable garbage”, but she was not very clear about it, such as plastic bags. She didn't know if it was recyclable. Of the 40 people stopped by the reporter, 24 said they “can’t figure out what recyclable garbage is.”

“Some trash cans say which ones are recyclable, but not all, and some trash cans don’t write at all.” Ms. Li said that indifference is the main factor, but insufficient publicity is also one of the reasons. .

People who transport garbage [cleaners] I have been transporting mixed garbage for 10 years. During the interview, a cleaner named Sun came to clean up the garbage. She divided "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" into two. The garbage in the bucket was poured into a bucket with a "swish".

Master Sun said that she is illiterate and cannot understand "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" at all. After the reporter explained to her, she smiled: "What is recyclable and not recyclable? The valuable ones have already been picked up by others." Master Sun said that there are many people scavenging now. When she usually collects garbage, she can't find anything that can be sold. Much more.

As she said that, Master Sun herself started "scouring" in the trash cans. Coke bottles and cardboard shells were her favorites. Other things, like plastic bags and old shoes, were less interesting to her.

“I’ve always been like this.” Master Sun said that she has been sweeping streets in Nanjing for 10 years, and she has always been transporting garbage.

The classified trash cans of the City Appearance Bureau play a promotional role. Yu Huiping, director of the Garbage Classification Collection and Management Office of the Nanjing City Appearance Bureau, said that in 2000, the Ministry of Construction included Nanjing among the eight pilot cities for garbage classification. In that year, Nanjing was the first to introduce living Garbage sorting.

At that time, the Nanjing City Appearance Bureau focused on publicity in its garbage classification work. It not only compiled and printed 600,000 copies of the "Letter to the Citizens" and sent them to residents' homes, but also compiled and printed 15,000 copies of the "Letter to the Citizens". "Garbage classification, turning waste into treasure" posters were posted on community bulletin boards.

Beginning in 2001, the City Appearance Bureau selected 1,000 people with high quality and able to endure hardships, and established a "green vest" recycling team to standardize management and make the recycling market more orderly. However, since the human-powered tricycles were no longer allowed on the streets, this work could not be carried out to the end.

“We have set up classified trash cans in more mature communities in recent years.” Yu Huiping said that in the past two years, the City Appearance Bureau has put in 12,000 classified trash cans.

Regarding the issue raised by citizens that “classified trash cans have become decorations”, Yu Huiping said that “it cannot be generalized.” She said that implementing garbage classification requires a process, and setting up classified trash cans on the streets and in communities is also a form of publicity. This can prepare for the future implementation of garbage classification in Nanjing.

Garbage people. More than 300 people grab garbage every day in the garbage dump. Classified trash cans have become decorations, and garbage is mixed and transported. So, what is the garbage classification and processing in Nanjing like?

Yesterday afternoon, reporters rushed to the Jiangning Jiaozishan garbage disposal site. In a garbage dump covering an area of ??about 400 acres, a bulldozer is shoveling garbage back and forth for landfill.

The bulldozer was followed by a dozen waste pickers, who were scrambling to grab the garbage. There are hundreds of people "scouring" in the garbage dump. Worried about secondary pollution caused by scavengers picking up garbage, the state has explicitly banned scavenging in garbage dumps. However, the group of people in front of the reporter were very busy.

The smell of garbage is terrible, but the waste pickers concentrate on picking up the garbage.

“No one cares. If you pick it up, it belongs to you.” Master Li from Anhui placed dozens of garbage bags around him, and he was “sorting” them on the spot. He picked out various bottles and filled 3 large baskets. He also picked up 1 basket of broken shoes and 3 baskets of wooden boards. There was a tricycle beside him, and he said that after the portioning was completed, he would use the tricycle to drag it to his temporary residence. "Broken shoes cost 2 cents per catty, plastic bottles cost 1 cent each, and milk boxes cost 3 cents per catty." Master Li said, "You can't make much money."

Beside Master Li, there was also a famous person The man was picking up watermelon rinds and vegetable leaves, while his wife was waving a kitchen knife to chop vegetables and melon rinds on the spot. The man said they picked them up, cooked them and fed them to 40 pigs. The reporter was surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. "There are many people picking up garbage to feed the pigs, fifty or sixty a day."

A woman who was scavenging told the reporter that there were more people picking up garbage in the morning. , there are more than 200 people, all locals. Now, the people picking up garbage are all outsiders. Since they can't compete with the locals, they have to pick it up in the afternoon. More than 300 waste pickers have become "non-staff" sorting personnel at this garbage dump. This waste disposal site supports at least 300 families.

At this moment, a garbage truck slowly drove in, and a dozen scavengers immediately swarmed over, waving their rakes and scrambling to reach a wooden cabinet in the truck. Although the driver slowed down, it still made people sweat. The wooden cabinet is not fixed with ropes. If it falls down, it will cause serious injury!

People at the garbage disposal terminal currently do not have any classification and treatment measures. Wang Wei, head of the Jiaozishan Waste Management Office, said that the Jiaozishan garbage dump is 20 kilometers away from the city center and is responsible for processing the three districts of Xuanwu, Baixia and Qixia. of domestic waste, processing about 1,000 tons of waste every day. Wang Wei said frankly: "The garbage is basically not classified."

Usually, after the garbage truck comes in and unloads the garbage on the ground, a bulldozer will come over to flatten it and then cover it with a layer of garbage. loess.

It is clearly forbidden to pick up garbage, why are so many people allowed to go in and pick it up? "Because it's profitable!" Wang Wei said, not only do people pick up garbage at the Jiaozishan garbage disposal site, but also at Pukou Tianjingwa and Jiangning Shuige. "There are certain dangers in picking up garbage behind garbage trucks, and picking up garbage in this way will cause secondary pollution. The garbage dump does not want people to pick up garbage, but they are so motivated that they cannot stop them."

< p> "If we don't let the scavengers pick up, the scavengers will block our car." Wang Wei said that letting everyone in is a helpless move.

On the same day, the reporter went to the Shuige garbage disposal site and found Zhou Feng. Currently, Zhou Feng is the general person in charge of three domestic waste disposal sites in Nanjing.

“Currently there are indeed no classification measures.” Zhou Feng introduced.

“Garbage classification and treatment requires a lot of capital investment and technical strength.” Zhou Feng said that the useful life of these three garbage dumps is running out, and such investment may not be worth the gain.

As for the thousands of "Taobao" scavengers in these three disposal sites, Zhou Feng believes that these people have achieved partial reuse of resources, which has certain positive significance, but they are not the orderly and formal government hopes. , instrumented garbage classification and recycling.

Zhou Feng revealed that relevant departments are currently planning to rebuild a large garbage dump in Jiangnan. Zhou Feng refused to disclose the specific location, but he said he would consider investing in waste classification and processing equipment.

Hope to sort and dispose garbage at the source. The cost of landfilling is high. The cost of processing one ton of garbage is about 200 to 300 yuan. Currently, Nanjing produces more than 3,500 tons of domestic waste per day. If garbage classification is not carried out for recycling, Nanjing will spend millions of yuan more per day.

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; one ton of cans can be melted into a Ton of good aluminum blocks can save 20 tons of aluminum ore... 30%-40% of production waste can be recycled.

However, Nanjing has great regrets in the classification and processing of domestic waste, especially at the terminal.

During the interview, Zhou Feng said that the garbage disposal site needs some departments to support this work, but he also hopes that everyone will sort the garbage at the source.

“Garbage classification has been around in China for a long time!” Director Xu, spokesperson of the City Appearance Bureau, said that 40 years ago, everyone was very frugal. The skins of toothpaste could be exchanged for money, and the skins on chicken gizzards could also be sold. Orange peels are used to make medicine. "I remember that one rubber shoe peel can be exchanged for two pencils." Garbage classification not only avoids garbage pollution, but also provides raw materials for industry and agriculture.

[Link] Common domestic waste is divided into four categories, did you know? ▲Recyclable garbage: including paper, metal, plastic, glass, etc., which can reduce pollution and save resources through comprehensive processing and recycling.

▲Kitchen waste: including leftovers, bones, roots and leaves and other food waste, processed on-site by biotechnology, each ton can produce 0.3 tons of organic fertilizer

▲ Hazardous waste: including waste batteries, waste fluorescent tubes, waste mercury thermometers, expired medicines, etc. These wastes require special safe handling.

▲Other garbage: In addition to the above categories of garbage, including bricks, ceramics, slag, toilet paper and other difficult-to-recycle waste, sanitary landfill can effectively reduce the impact on groundwater, surface water, Soil and air pollution.
