As waste sorting is implemented, categorized trash bins are now a common sight in our daily lives, with bins of different colors collecting various types of waste. Do you know what each color of the categorized bins represents? Today, let's talk about it.
1. Red Red signifies hazardous waste. Hazardous waste includes: used batteries, paint cans, expired medications, cosmetics, mercury thermometers, printer ink cartridges, and old light bulbs, etc.
2. Green waste represents kitchen scraps. This includes items such as oil, peelings, vegetables, rice and noodles, fish, meat, bones, and discarded utensils. Green waste can be used as fertilizer for plants, and when buried in soil, it can be decomposed and absorbed by natural microorganisms and plants, thus serving the purpose of waste recycling.
3. Blue - Representing recyclable waste. Includes materials such as plastic, paper, glass, bottles, and cans that have recyclable value. These materials will be incorporated into the waste recycling system for resource regeneration and disposal.
4. Gray Gray represents waste that does not fit into other categories of garbage sorting. Cigarette butts, contaminated paper, discarded diapers, etc.
