The Guiyang National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, or Guiyang HIDZ, is taking measures to treat the environment under its jurisdiction to improve the zone's image.
Garbage sorting and removal, environmental sanitation improvement, and noise and water pollution control have been put high on the agenda in the Guiyang HIDZ.
The Guiyang HIDZ has set up 80 environmentally-friendly intelligent sorting garbage bins, realizing the full coverage of sorting facilities in local residential communities.
Garbage removal and transportation have adopted a "direct transportation" model to achieve the dedicated and precise collection of garbage in different categories.
Meanwhile, an ultra-high temperature piece of biogasification kitchen waste treatment equipment with a daily processing capacity of 200 kg was introduced, which is able to handle 95 percent of kitchen waste on the spot and the treated tailings can be used for green planting.
Since the beginning of this year, 134 closed trucks for food and kitchen waste were dispatched throughout the Guiyang HIDZ, and 935 metric tons of food and kitchen waste were cleared and transported.
A total of 207 domestic garbage trucks were dispatched, and 1,314 tons of domestic waste was cleared, with a 100-percent harmless disposal rate.
In terms of environmental sanitation improvement, the Guiyang HIDZ has taken measures targeting 28 tasks related to health management, health education and health promotion, urban appearance and environmental sanitation, environmental protection, food and drinking water safety, public health and medical services, and vector prevention and control.
It divides the whole zone into 23 areas, and each area has a corresponding unit responsible for regular inspection, supervision and feedback of municipal facilities, back streets and alleys, residential communities, construction sites and public places in the area to ensure full coverage of environmental sanitation and no dead ends.
For noise and air pollution treatment, the Guiyang HIDZ has accepted 258 cases thus far, which include construction site noise, commercial noise, and social life noise, as well as the open burning of garbage and straw, and open-air barbecue vendors at night, and 100 percent of the cases have been handled.
Additionally, in the first half of 2021, five cases of environmental violations were filed and dealt with in the Guiyang HIDZ, and seven decisions were issued to correct these violations, with a total fine of 876,000 yuan.
