For residential areas with property management, the collection of municipal waste is the responsibility of the property service company. Regarding the adjustment of property service fees, the Municipal City Administration Committee points out that it's not because of the deployment of waste sorting containers that there's a need for an increase, but rather a comprehensive consideration of property service costs and the owners' ability to bear the costs. Below, the editor from Kunshan Waste Recycling introduces the knowledge of waste classification for the full utilization of resources.

Reduce Land Occupation

Some materials in domestic waste are non-degradable, leading to severe soil erosion. By sorting waste, removing recyclables and non-degradable substances, the amount of waste can be reduced by over 50%.

Reduce environmental pollution

Disposing of rechargeable batteries and button cells can lead to severe harm due to the presence of toxic substances like mercury and cadmium; incidents of animals mistakenly ingesting plastic waste in the soil, leading to their deaths, occur frequently. Therefore, recycling can help mitigate these hazards.

Transform Waste into Treasure

Each year, China uses 4 billion plastic fast-food boxes and 500-700 million instant noodle bowls. Waste plastic accounts for 4-7% of municipal solid waste; one ton of waste plastic can be recycled into 600 kilograms of diesel; recycling 1,500 tons of waste paper can save the need to cut down trees for 1,200 tons of paper production; one ton of aluminum cans melted down can form one ton of high-quality aluminum ingots, reducing the need for 20 tons of bauxite mining; 30-40% of municipal solid waste is recyclable, and resources should be cherished.

When it comes to waste recycling, the first images that come to mind are often dirty and chaotic... Waste recycling itself is a means and method of resource recycling and environmental protection. However, why has it become synonymous with dirt and chaos in reality? Moreover, in practice, most waste recycling sites have become areas with severe environmental sanitation issues. Waste recycling, a beneficial activity for environmental protection, has negatively impacted human living environments due to a lack of scientific planning and proper guidance. Therefore, scientific planning, rational layout, and guidance from relevant departments are the fundamental solutions to this problem.
