Can I use my waste paper for a new copy paper or fax paper? This is a good thing that is green and saves money. Do you want to try it? Yesterday at the Guangzhou Sanitation Resource Recycling Center, it was learned that in order to enable more people to taste the sweetness of waste sorting, Guangzhou will start a new round of rubbish resource recovery and replacement plan from mid-March.
480,000 households use garbage for cleaning fees

According to reports, the waste separation recovery rate in developed countries is almost 100%. The current waste separation rate in Guangzhou is 45%, ranking among the top in the country. There are five or six hundred tons of waste collected annually. Among them, in the areas where garbage has been collected and recycled, citizens can sign agreements with local sanitation stations to use the recycled waste to offset the cleaning fees. At present, 480,000 residents in the city have tasted the sweetness of participating in environmental protection. The amount of garbage handled by Guangzhou during the Spring Festival this year has been reduced by more than 10,000 tons compared to last year, which also benefits from the implementation of waste separation and recycling.

Yesterday, at the Guangzhou Sanitation Resource Recycling Center, 70% of new bicycles and electric fans, undamaged paper toys, disinfecting cupboards, old refrigerators, and old air conditioners were even treated here. It is reported that during the Spring Festival, these people paid for the recycling center to collect them during the Spring Festival. In the 15 days since the Spring Festival, the center has recovered 20-30 tons of waste every day, which is an increase of 60%.

Replacement of office supplies with rubbish

It is understood that the pilot garbage replacement plan from the middle of next month is limited to the use of waste paper. As long as the citizens of Guangzhou dial “86021885”, sanitation workers will come to collect waste paper and return you with office paper of appropriate value, including typing. Paper, fax paper, and carbonless copy paper. This resource replacement plan will be piloted first among government organizations, and will gradually expand the scope of resource replacement during the year, including glass bottles, waste plastic products, etc., and the replacement materials will also be diversified. After the distribution issue is resolved, this year It will be promoted to ordinary households.

Gradually ban individual waste stations

It is reported that Guangzhou Sanitation Resource Recycling Center, which has a daily garbage disposal capacity of 300 tons, is currently experiencing a phenomenon of “flooding”, because most of the garbage is picked up by garbage. In response to this problem, the relevant departments have decided to gradually eliminate self-employed waste collection stations in the future, and incorporate garbage recycling into standardized operation and management.
