Beijing plans to improve the management of non-resident kitchen waste charging and non-resident kitchen waste to implement metering and charging

  The Beijing News (Reporter Wu Tingting) Beijing plans to revise and improve the management policy of non-resident kitchen waste charging, and the non-resident kitchen waste charging management will be fully implemented.

From July 16th to August 14th, the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of the City's Non-residents' Kitchen Waste Measurement and Charges" (Draft for Solicitation of Comments) and "Adjustment Plan for the City's Non-resident Kitchen Waste Treatment Charges" (for Comments ) Officially announced.

  The above two documents will be publicized on the websites of Capital Window, the Municipal Urban Management Committee, and the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, and solicit opinions from the society. The time is 30 days.

The public can leave a message in the "Politics and Citizens Interaction" section of Capital Window, send emails to the e-mail address (zhjhc@csglw.beijing.gov.cn), send letters, and post their opinions and suggestions.

  The target of this policy adjustment is non-residential kitchen waste, which mainly includes food waste, food processing waste and other food waste generated by catering service companies, collective canteens, and farmer’s markets. It does not involve household waste.

Non-resident kitchen waste has a high moisture content and there is room for reduction

  Beijing’s non-resident kitchen waste implements “point-to-point” direct collection and direct transportation, which is collected by special transportation vehicles from non-resident units and transported directly to special treatment facilities for treatment.

  The water content of non-resident kitchen waste in Beijing is high. According to a typical survey, the water content of non-resident kitchen waste is about 70%. This not only brings pressure on garbage transportation, but also increases the difficulty of environmental protection treatment in the later stage.

  The draft for comments proposes that non-resident kitchen waste in each district shall be transported and processed in a coordinated manner in different areas. The directory of transportation units and their service areas in each district shall be announced to the public by the district city management committee. The transportation units shall transport non-resident kitchen waste in the service areas to Designated processing facilities for processing.

  Beijing has uniformly built a four-level domestic waste management information system for city, district, street, and enterprise, and realizes the full-process quantitative management of the collection, transportation, and treatment of non-resident kitchen waste.

The transportation vehicles are equipped with measuring and weighing and satellite positioning equipment, the trash cans are equipped with non-resident unit identification cards, the processing facilities are equipped with transportation vehicle automatic identification and weighing equipment, and the collection, transportation and processing link data are connected to the management information system.

Full implementation of metering and charging for non-resident kitchen waste treatment

  According to the cost survey, the average cost of food waste transportation and treatment for non-residents in Beijing in 2019 is 563 yuan/ton. After considering taxes and reasonable income, the price is about 594 yuan/ton.

Overall consideration of the affordability of the catering service unit, and in accordance with the principle of gradual implementation, this price adjustment plan reasonably controlled the price adjustment level. The non-resident kitchen waste treatment fee was adjusted to 300 yuan/ton, covering about 50% of the cost.

  The non-resident kitchen waste disposal fee can be charged according to the weight measurement, or according to the volume of the collection container. The reference standard for the conversion of ton barrels is 0.9 tons/m3.

  The non-resident kitchen waste generating unit is the subject of payment, and the garbage transportation unit is the subject of charging. Both parties collect the processing fee according to the amount of food waste generated and the government price (300 yuan/ton, 33 yuan/barrel for 120L barrels).

The two parties agree on the settlement method of the processing fee in the contract, which may adopt a pre-charge based on the amount generated in the previous year, and then "refund more and make up less" based on the actual amount generated, or carry over to the next year.

First implement quota management and differentiated fees for collective canteens such as agencies and institutions

  In accordance with the requirements of the state to gradually establish an over-quota progressive price increase mechanism, after a period of time after the full implementation of metering charges, the collective canteens of agencies, troops, schools, enterprises and institutions shall implement quota management on a trial basis, and other non-resident entities such as catering service companies shall wait for conditions to mature It will be implemented in due course.

  Non-resident units that implement quota management implement differentiated charges. If the actual amount of waste is lower than the quota standard, the lower price will be implemented. The portion above the quota standard will be increased to increase the price difference, which means that there are rewards and penalties.

  The reporter learned that the impact of differentiated fees on non-resident units is mainly related to the actual amount of waste generated. The increase in waste production is relatively large, and the increase in waste production is relatively small, which is conducive to guiding non-resident units. Adopt waste reduction measures such as water control and miscellaneous control.

  For example, a non-resident unit’s kitchen waste production quota standard is 100 tons/year, if the unit’s actual kitchen waste production volume is 40 tons (less than 50% of its quota standard), it will be paid at the standard of 200 yuan/ton Food waste treatment fee; if the actual amount of kitchen waste produced by the unit is 80 tons (between 50%-100% of the quota), it will be required to pay the food waste treatment fee at the standard of 300 yuan/ton; if the unit The actual amount of food waste generated is 120 tons (exceeding the quota standard), and the amount of less than 100 tons (inclusive) is calculated at 300 yuan/ton, and the 20 tons exceeding the quota are calculated at 600 yuan/ton.

What measures can non-resident units take to reduce the amount of food waste and save costs?

  Non-resident units should strengthen the promotion of diligence and frugality and green environmental protection to dining consumers, guide the establishment of correct catering consumption concepts, order meals appropriately, eat frugally, actively participate in the "CD Action", and resolutely resist food waste; The waste is controlled by water and trash, and the water of kitchen waste is drained. The drained water must be treated by the oil separation facility before being discharged to the sewage pipe, so as to minimize the grease, water and impurities in the kitchen waste and improve the purity of the waste.

  Conditional units can purchase clean vegetables and semi-clean vegetables, promote clean vegetables to be put into the kitchen, or be processed and distributed by the central kitchen to increase the utilization of surplus food materials in the kitchen.

If the site conditions are available, under the guidance of the competent department of environmental sanitation industry in the jurisdiction, the on-site treatment equipment for kitchen waste can be installed according to local conditions.
