A horn sounds, garbage into the big basket. This is the reporter recently in Shaanxi province Fu County Niuwu town Guantou village interview to see the scene. Garbage classification brings more than just a change in living habits.
Guantou Village is located next to Niuwuchuan River, close to 309 National Highway. In the memory of 66-year-old villager Wang Changjin this year, waste clothes, leftovers, broken paper glass, etc., but any household garbage, each family will be put into large and small plastic bags, filled up after throwing to the river bank. Over time, the once livable and beautiful home has changed its appearance. "During a downpour, the smelly water from the river would rush onto the road. The fact that the road is not like a road and the river is not like a river is the deepest impression left on everyone." Wang Changjin said.
The change began in May last year. Wang Changjin said that Guantou was the first pilot village in Fuxian county to conduct garbage sorting. At the beginning, no one knew what was going on. But to see that each household is equipped with a gray iron bucket and two green buckets, and the walls of the courtyard are also pasted with the classification of various kinds of garbage in the form of charts, we gradually understand: the iron bucket contains ash cinder, and the two green buckets respectively contain perishable garbage and non-perishable garbage. "The sorting of garbage in the courtyard is the first time we have sorted garbage here."
While I was talking, a loudspeaker sounded at the door for recycling garbage. Wang Changjin came to the door carrying two green buckets. Zhang Yumei, a poor family in the village, is riding an electric tricycle to collect garbage from house to house. The reporter saw in her car: four big trash cans not only have the difference of blue, green, yellow and red, each trash can also write recyclables, wet garbage, dry garbage, harmful garbage words, Wang Changjin and Zhang Yumei together, the plastic bottles accumulated in his trash can, old wire poured into the blue bucket; Leftovers poured into the green bucket; Old socks and cigarette butts went into the yellow bucket. "Today, there is no waste battery, waste paint bucket, etc., if there should be poured into the red bucket." Zhang Yumei said.
After following Zhang Yumei to two more homes to collect garbage, she rode her bike to the garbage recycling center in Niuwu Town, far from the villagers' settlement. While waiting, she talked about the final destination of the garbage: the untreatable slag, coal ash, etc. will be transferred by the sanitation company to the town's landfill for landfill; Kitchen waste and other wet waste after drying and fermentation, will be sold to enterprises as fruit tree fertilizer; Waste plastic, waste paper bags and other non-perishable waste after low temperature magnetization, will become building materials, sold to related enterprises. "Waste classification and centralized treatment is to achieve reduction and harmlessness." Feng Yunzhi, chairman of the National People's Congress of Niuwu Town, said that before garbage sorting began last year, the town had cleaned up the 14 km long Niuwuchuan river, and the accumulated garbage had reached more than 80 tons over the years, and the company of garbage had been a real state of life. With the promotion of garbage classification and the acceleration of river regulation, now the goal of clear water, green bank and beautiful scenery has been achieved in Guantou Village.
It has become a habit to classify garbage and hand it over to the cleaner from 15:00 to 17:00 every day in spring and winter, and from 18:00 to 20:00 every day in summer and autumn. "Garbage sorting has also improved the village environment. In the past, because the village was dirty, smelly and disorderly, none of my relatives living in Fuxian County or Xi 'an were willing to visit and chat. Now every weekend, my village house is the best choice for people to enjoy the beautiful scenery." "Wang Changjin said.
"By treating the source and improving the rural living environment, Fuxian is promoting the classification and resource utilization of rural garbage around the links of" garbage classification, garbage collection, garbage classification and transportation, garbage classification and treatment ". Li Zhifeng, secretary of the Party Committee of Fuxian County, said that the system of "household classification, village collection and environmental sanitation company transfer treatment" has been in normal operation. Now, the beautiful mountains, green water and livable Fuxian appeared in front of everyone.
