Phenomenon 1
"Recyclables" and "Food Waste" trash cans are hard to find in some shopping malls
On the evening of May 30th, the reporter noticed at Beijing Juntai Department Store that there was a circular trash can on each floor at the upper and lower escalators, with the words "other garbage" marked on it, but paper towels, plastic bottles and other debris were thrown inside . The reporter held an empty mineral water bottle in his hand. According to the regulations, the plastic bottle should be thrown into the "recyclable" trash can, but the reporter walked around the mall and did not see the "recyclable" trash can.
As a customer, the reporter asked if there was a "recyclable" trash bin in the security mall. The security guard said with certainty: "Yes! You come with me." The reporter followed the security guard and turned to a bathroom. The security guard pointed at a large trash can and said, "You can just throw it here." As the reporter saw, it should be a centralized processing area for garbage sorting and recycling by staff. There are three large trash cans marked with "recyclables", "Other garbage" and "harmful garbage". Without the guidance of security guards, it is difficult for customers to find this centralized garbage storage area.
In addition, the reporter noticed next to a dessert shop on the second floor of Juntai Department Store that there are two black trash cans, namely "other trash" and "harmful trash", but if customers hold plastic bottles, glass bottles, Coke cans and other garbage are not suitable for being put into these two types of garbage cans.
At Gome Electrical Appliances next to the Yangzha roundabout in Chaoyang, the reporter walked around and found a trash can without any sign on the front left side of the service desk on the second floor. There are many types of trash in it, useful napkins, sprite bottles, plastic Bag and cardboard. After a large circle, the reporter finally found 5 trash cans in front of the toilet door, including four sorted trash cans and one large round barrel without a lid. The classified trash cans are not classified as required. The harmful trash cans are filled with paper towels, and the kitchen waste cans are filled with paper towels and advertising sheets. There are all kinds of garbage in the large round barrel without a lid, including food packaging bags and toilet paper.
On May 30, resident Ms. Guo took her child to visit Changyingtian Street. The child had eaten half of the dessert and wanted to throw it away. According to the "Beijing version" garbage classification standard, the remaining half of the dessert should be counted as kitchen waste and put in Before entering the kitchen waste bin, drain the soup and water, and put the remaining pulp into the kitchen waste bin, and then put the dessert boxes into other trash bins.
Ms. Guo found several trash cans with the remaining half of the dessert, and found that there are trash cans near almost every escalator in the mall, but only two types of trash cans were set: "recyclable" and "other trash". From the first floor to the fourth floor, she found that there were only these two types of trash cans in the dining area. Finally, she had to throw the dessert boxes into other trash cans. At the end of the shopping mall, she saw a row of 4 sorted trash bins at the exit of the mall, including one kitchen waste bin. "There are a lot of small shops selling food in the mall. You can't just go to the exit to throw a garbage."
This kind of situation is not uncommon for Ms. Guo. The reporter saw a lady throwing leftover food into the other trash bins, but the food spilled out and was just seen by the cleaning staff. Finally, the cleaning staff could only A cleaner paper bag was found in the trash can to wipe the food on the ground. The reporter noticed that there are quite a few young people and children holding snacks in the Changyingtian Street mall, but it is a problem where to eat the rest of the drinks and ice cream. There are not many food waste bins in the mall.
A reporter at Changying Hualian Shopping Center also saw that other trash cans and recyclable trash cans are common on each floor. In some areas, there is even a trash can without any sign, which ca n’t be found in the dining area. Food waste trash can.
Phenomenon 2
The situation of mixed garbage in commercial supermarkets is more common
In some shopping malls, even if 4 trash cans are equipped, the phenomenon of mixed garbage is very common. Shopping malls and supermarkets visited by reporters have almost found this problem.
At the plus365 shopping plaza on Chaoyang Road, as soon as the reporter entered the door, he saw three sorted trash bins next to the escalator, which were marked as recyclable, other trash, and hazardous trash. A garbage classification guide is posted on the wall next to the garbage can, but the garbage classification in each bucket is messy. Drink bottles are in recyclable garbage cans and other garbage cans. Plastic bags and used tissues are in the recyclable garbage cans. Inside, the harmful trash cans are paper towels and plastic bags, disposable chopsticks.
In Guanzhuang Meilianmei Supermarket, there are 4 sorted trash bins at the entrance and cash register area, but the trash is also mixed. The disposable lunch boxes are in hazardous trash bins, and paper towels, plastic bags and food are packed into kitchen waste bins.
This is also the case with Xizhimen Kaide Mall, Joy City, Hanguang Department Store and other malls visited by the reporter. These malls are equipped with sortable trash cans such as "recyclables" and "other trash", but the mixed garbage is more obvious. Some shopping malls lack guidelines for garbage classification, and some shopping malls have marked guidelines, and the effect is not obvious. For example, Xizhimen CapitaMall has two trash cans on the second floor and above, and there are four trash cans on each escalator, namely "recyclables", "other trash", "kitchen waste", "harmful trash", and each trash can The outside is marked with guidelines to facilitate customers to sort waste. However, the reporter looked at the trash cans on the 2nd to 4th floors. The debris in each trash can was similar, for example, there were bamboo sticks and plastic bottles in the "harmful garbage", and a lot of white was thrown in the "kitchen waste" bucket. Tissues.
Some customers said that the posted garbage classification guide is relatively rough, and I still do n’t understand, "For example, I know that beverage bottles are recyclable garbage, but now the juice cups and milk tea cups should be counted as other garbage? But I think everyone else It was thrown into a recyclable trash can, I am a little confused. "Citizen Ms. Zhang said.
Phenomenon 3
Some merchants give customers free ultra-thin plastic bags
The new version of the "Beijing Municipal Waste Management Regulations" stipulates that ultra-thin plastic bags with a thickness of less than 0.025 mm are prohibited items. Beijing has been implementing garbage classification for a month. The reporter found during the visit that there are still merchants using ultra-thin plastic bags.
On the afternoon of May 30th, the reporter saw a gluten-free store on the ground floor of Kaizhi Mall, Xizhimen. The customers who bought snacks lined up with seven or eight people. The staff swiftly put the baked gluten into the paper bag, and then put it in the paper bag. A layer of white and transparent thin plastic bag was put on the outside. The reporter noticed that this bag had a thick stack beside the cash register.
In the Olympic Forest Park Leshibao Paradise, there are also cases of using ultra-thin plastic bags. At noon yesterday, the food and beverage area of the park was selling boxed food, with free ultra-thin plastic bags and disposable chopsticks next to it.
In an underground shopping mall on Chaoyang Road, when a reporter visited a month ago, he found that it used ultra-thin plastic bags and it was free of charge. After the staff of the market supervision department came to inspect, the reporter came here again on May 30 to visit and found "three nos" The ultra-thin plastic bags have been replaced with qualified plastic bags with logos, but they are still provided free of charge. In addition, the flower shop still uses black unlabeled plastic bags.
There are many online red shops in the dining area on the second basement floor of Chaoyang Heshenghui, where customers pack food, and some merchants also provide free plastic bags.
The reporter saw in the Chaolaichun Flower Market that white or black ultra-thin plastic bags are still being used. Both merchants selling fish and merchants selling flowers will pull off an ultra-thin plastic bag for packaging goods. Regarding the one-month garbage classification regulations, a fish-selling merchant told reporters: "There are still some plastic bags in the store, and there is no leak in the fish, so I will temporarily use it again."
