How did they manage to produce only 38 grams of outbound waste per person per day?
Beginning last year, many cities in Zhejiang Province began to implement the "two-determination and four-part" garbage classification model, kicking off the "waste revolution" centered on the treatment of all categories of garbage, and contributing "Zhejiang experience" to the implementation of garbage classification across the country. .
The breeze slowly made the smoke curl. There is no trace of rubbish on the clean and tidy streets, and among the lotus leaves in the wind, there is a beautiful view of the countryside. Walking into Duantou Village, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, people will sigh for the cleanliness here. However, the residents here know that before the implementation of garbage classification, the village is no different from other villages.
Recently, the reporter came to Zhejiang along with the interview group heading towards our well-off life and saw the real changes in urban and rural areas since the in-depth implementation of garbage classification.
Garbage classification may seem like a trivial matter, but it is a major matter related to the level of social civilization and green development.
In recent years, promoting the classification and management of domestic waste has gradually become a social consensus. Beginning last year, many cities in Zhejiang Province began to implement the "two-determination and four-division" garbage classification model, kicking off the "garbage revolution" centered on the treatment of all types of garbage, and contributing "Zhejiang experience" to the nationwide implementation of garbage classification. .
This village produces only 15 kilograms of outbound garbage every day
Duantou Village is a small village in Zhoushan Town, Jinhua City. The scenery here is beautiful and beautiful. What's more commendable is that the per capita daily output of garbage in this village is only 38 grams, which also makes Duantou Village an Internet celebrity village.
"The Duantou model is simply put in, collected by, sorted and transported, recycled, and disposed of." said Yu Hai, secretary of the Party branch of the village. "It can be said that garbage classification has made Duantou a better life. "
In the small shop of villager Ying Juqun, there are 4 garbage exchange bills. In addition to the identity of the shop owner, Ying Juqun also serves as a garbage sorting recorder. Used batteries can be exchanged for new, 3 bulbs can be exchanged for an energy-saving lamp...
Since the start of garbage classification in 2017, Ying Juqun has recorded 4 exchange accounts.
In order to facilitate the villagers to put in, 5 small wooden houses were set up at the end. Each cabin is divided into 3 inlets, and the villagers only need to place them according to the color. According to Yu Hai, source classification is only the first step. In order to reduce the amount of garbage, the key lies in the proper sorting. At around 9 o'clock every day, the garbage collectors will send all the garbage to the resource recovery point at the head of the village, and the garbage sorters will carry out secondary sorting. After sorting staff, Duantou Village only needs 15 kilograms of waste to be transported for incineration or landfill every day, and each person produces only 38 grams of waste that needs to be transported per day, which truly realizes waste reduction.
Villager Xiang Yongning told reporters that the village has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years. "The village is beautiful, and it is also rated as a scenic spot. More and more tourists come, and the garbage classification is really good!"
The green waters and green hills of Duantou Village are being transformed into gold and silver mountains for the villagers.
In April this year, Duantou Village invested 9 million yuan to build a waste sorting research base focusing on waste sorting science education, conference affairs learning, homestay catering and other activities. "We hope that more tourists can come to Duantou Village to take a look at the beautiful scenery and witness the beautiful scenery of the countryside." Yu Hai said.
Garbage sorting is becoming a daily habit
68-year-old Chen Hongxiang is a resident of Xiawang Community, Dongxiao Street, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province. She was born here and grew up here, and she has witnessed the transformation from the village to the community and the change of the streets from dirty to spotless.
Today, Chen Hongxiang has become a garbage inspector. After her inspection, bags of trash were put into the corresponding trash cans.
Speaking of this job, Chen Hongxiang is full of love: "Make the family more beautiful, there is still money to make."
In fact, this job is not as easy as Chen Hongxiang said. Wu Chenfei, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Dongxiao Street, told reporters that with the development of the city, the migrant population in the Xiawang community is increasing. At first, some people did not understand the work of garbage classification and found it troublesome. "To do a good job of sorting waste, we need to truly integrate concepts into our lives and encourage residents to make waste sorting a habit of life. Of course, this is not an easy task. It takes time to promote and abandon old concepts in order to be deeply rooted. Effect."
There are many volunteers like Chen Hongxiang in the Xiawang community.
Near each garbage disposal point in Jindong District, Jinhua City, there is a garbage inspector who will assist residents in sorting out garbage and putting garbage in regular and fixed points.
The so-called fixed time and fixed point are the content of the "two fixed four points method" that Jinhua City began to implement in 2018. "Two fixed" means that the garbage is put in at a fixed time, and the time is twice a day, usually from 6 am to 9 am and 6 pm to 9 pm. "Four points", that is, household garbage is classified into the "four categories" of food waste, other, harmful, and recyclable, to distinguish the types of garbage generated from the source. The "two fixes and four points" change the bad habits of the citizens of throwing at will, putting it at any time, and throwing it away, and it also lays a solid foundation for resource utilization.
The garbage classification has changed the old appearance of the Xiawang community, and the living environment of the villagers has been greatly improved. A villager said: “When the door was opened before, flies and mosquitoes burrowed into the house, but now there is less trash and less flies and mosquitoes.”
Residents are conscious of waste classification, regular supervision by inspectors, and residents' committees, property committees, and real estate jointly implement the household contract responsibility system, which has become the key to supporting the implementation of waste classification.
In the Dingyuan Community of Zhuji City, the reporter saw that garbage bags printed with QR codes were provided near every garbage point. According to Xu Guoai, the secretary of the community, every garbage bag can correspond to every household to prevent littering. Residents generally report that the garbage sorting and placing points are cleaner than their own courtyards, and they are embarrassed even if they don't want to sort them.
Use technology to solve the rigid needs in garbage classification
One of the equipment in the garbage sorting point in Xiawang community is quite eye-catching. Whenever residents throw leftovers, vegetable leaves, melon peels and other food waste into a small biological waste treatment facility, after a few hours, after the equipment is processed, these greasy kitchen waste will become Powdered organic fertilizer.
This is a garbage disposal equipment developed by a local company. In the practice of garbage sorting, the local government found that the most troublesome and disgusting thing for residents is the perishable garbage. "Perishable garbage is not only easy to pollute the garbage disposal site, but also easy to cause secondary pollution during centralized transportation." Wu Chenfei said.
As a result, the local consumption of perishable garbage has become a rigid demand in garbage classification. Lin Haijun, the person in charge of the company, told reporters that this garbage disposal equipment can be operated with one button, even the elderly can easily master it. "We use high-temperature aerobic fermentation technology, relying on microbial strains to carry out efficient fermentation at a suitable temperature of 40 to 60 degrees Celsius. Microbial strains only need to be added once every six months. If the equipment works at full capacity for 24 hours, it can process 150 per day. One kilogram of kitchen waste can be converted into about 15 kilograms of organic fertilizer."
With this equipment, the perishable garbage in the Xiawang community can basically be disposed of without leaving the community. The smell-free, clean and tidy garbage dump also made the people satisfied.
In addition, in Dongxiao Street, Jindong District, a multi-terminal recyclable smart supervision platform is also used to monitor the sanitation status of garbage stations in real time through wired video monitoring and 4G video monitoring, which provides intelligent "wings" for garbage classification. .
The staff of Dongxiao Street demonstrated the system on site. "It's not the time for garbage disposal, please put it at the concentration point from 6:30 to 9:00 in the morning..." According to the staff, during non-discharge time, residents will hear the warmth when they approach the garbage sorting and disposal point with their garbage. Prompt voice.
This relies on a spherical camera with interactive functions and infrared night vision. Not only can the garbage transfer station and the garbage disposal point be monitored in all directions without blind spots, but also remote monitoring and voice interaction can be used to remind residents of the standardized garbage disposal. At the same time, during video inspections, if uncivilized behaviors are found, they can also be directly stopped on the spot through voice calls.
The staff of Dongxiao Street said: “At present, we have put all 118 garbage disposal points in our jurisdiction under supervision. At the command center, two sanitation workers and one administrative law enforcement staff are on duty every day. If there is an abnormal situation such as garbage overflow at a location, the command center can arrange personnel to deal with it in 3 minutes. In addition, our smart monitoring platform also supports PC, mobile phone, tablet and other terminal access, and can remotely check the garbage disposal status anytime and anywhere, which is convenient for street officials Fully participate in waste sorting management."
Nowadays, the smart management of garbage sorting can be seen everywhere in Zhejiang: The Meow Recycling App developed by Jinhua Rural Cooperative Union Property Service Co., Ltd. allows residents to settle the items sold in cash or points, realizing an effective closed loop of selling, recycling and sorting. The “Smart IoT + Renewable Resources Recovery, Sorting and Utilization Industry Chain” cloud platform built in Yiwu implements information collection, operation tracking, data analysis, and linkage closed-loop management for industrial waste disposal.
