The launch ceremony of a demonstration community project for domestic waste sorting was held on July 9 in Guizhou Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone in Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province.
Based on the occupancy rate, infrastructure and residents' education level, Shuanglong airport economic zone chose five communities as the first batch of demonstration communities in household waste sorting, involving more than 7,300 households with 26,000 people.
Staff members from the zone put two sorting garbage containers downstairs in each unit, to collect food waste and other garbage generated from the daily lives of residents.
A set of four-class intelligent waste containers will be placed in each community to collect the recyclables and toxic and hazardous waste placed in them by residents.
Domestic waste will be transported to the classification temporary storage point or treatment station by special vehicles, to efficiently implement the classified collection, transportation and disposal of domestic waste.
