Shanghai Citizens Out Of Sorts Over New Trash Separation Rules
Household trash has occupied the minds of Shanghai residents this week: specifically, are the contents of their bins "wet", "dry", "hazardous" or "recyclable"?
Residents of the city one of the world's biggest with about 23 million people, arrange their trash according to those labels under a mandatory (强制的)sorting scheme (start) on July 1.
Citizens, however, are finding new system complicated enough, every item of waste now under careful scrutiny, from receipts and half-eaten crayfish to soggy cups of "bubble tea." Residents are also unhappy about getting their hands dirty. "It's really a lot of trouble," said a 68-year old resident called Shen. "Plastic bags have to be put in one bin and if they are dirty they must (clean out), and then your hands get filthy. It's really unhygienic."
Huang Rong, deputy secretary general of the Shanghai government, said on Friday more than 70% of residential districts should be compliant (遵守) with the new trash sorting rules by next year.
Though Shanghai has hired 1,700 instructors and conducted 13,000 training sessions, confused residents on social media are demanding to know to sort items like batteries, human hair, meat on a bone, or fruit seeds and skins. The government (set up) an app to handle enquiries. citizens are unsure about which of the four trash categories — recyclable, hazardous waste, kitchen waste and residual waste — something they need to discard belongs to, they open the app, type in the object and receive a definitive answer.
Shanghai aims to eventually burn or recycle all waste. By next year, dry waste incineration and wet waste treatment rates (expect) to reach 27,800 tonnes a day, around 80% of the city's total garbage.
China is building hundreds of "waste to energy" plants use garbage to generate power. It is also establishing a "waste-free city" scheme and constructing high-tech "comprehensive utilization bases" across the country.
Huang said the new sorting measures were just the beginning, and would not instantly resolve Shanghai's mounting garbage challenges. "We need to step up the propaganda, and we can't help but (step up) the construction of infrastructure and guarantee that the separation of trash meets our requirements," he said.
