Tomorrow, the "Shanghai Municipal Domestic Waste Management Regulations" will be officially implemented, and Shanghai will also usher in the era of forced garbage classification. Xinmin Evening News reporter visited Gaojing Town, Baoshan District yesterday and found that many communities are setting off a wave of learning garbage classification knowledge, and garbage classification is becoming a new fashion that more and more residents are competing to practice.
garbage classification has become a trend
According to Xie Sufen, secretary of the Party Branch of the Five Neighborhood Committee of Yixian Village, Gaojing Xinyuan started garbage classification in early June. Currently, 1 four-category point and 9 two-category point are set up in the community, from 7:00 to 8:30 am and 18:00 to 19:30 pm every day for residents to place it at regular time and at fixed locations. "At first, some residents must not understand. After all, they could throw garbage when they went downstairs at any time. Suddenly they had to remove the bin and add it to the point. They felt it was too troublesome. But we worked from door to door to make everyone realize the importance of garbage sorting. Now most residents can consciously take out garbage according to regulations."

Of course, garbage sorting has just started, and the neighborhood committee and property management are also making timely adjustments according to the needs of residents. "Recently, some residents reported that the weather was hot. After eating watermelon at night, they could not throw the melon peel. We are considering delaying the delivery time. In addition, through intelligent big data, we are also analyzing the delivery of each point, and we will further optimize and integrate resources in the future."
thoughts to try to dispel the concerns
Compared with Gaojing Xinyuan, the community of Lane 21, Yingao Road, not far away, has long been a "model student" of garbage classification. The reporter saw at the scene that there were 4 garbage sorting and disposal points in the community, and each garbage bin room had a conspicuous classification sign, and the appearance was clean and tidy, without any odor. Within the specified time, residents who come to take out the garbage will be "just familiar" and most garbage classification is accurate.
Sun Jun, secretary of Yixian Three Villages and One Neighborhood Committee, told reporters that since 2017, the community has "started" in advance, piloted garbage classification, and established a party member volunteer team. Every morning, a volunteer was arranged to publicize, guide and supervise at the service points, and called on all residents to participate in garbage classification. In May this year, garbage classification and fixed-point disposal were first implemented in the community. The neighborhood committee once again organized volunteers to provide "determined person, fixed post, fixed-term" services and explained to residents a new guide to garbage classification. "With our unremitting efforts in the past two years, residents are also very cooperative with the new measures for fixed-point disposal. Now the registration rate of the community green account user has reached 100%, and the average points have reached more than 5,000 points, which shows that the concept of garbage classification is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."
In response to the problem of wet garbage broken bags that residents generally reflect, the property also specially purchased a "bag breaking artifact" to dispel residents' concerns. The reporter opened a wet trash can and saw an iron frame with a saw blade installed in the trash. When residents took out the trash, they just need to stick the trash bag on the serrated teeth and gently pull it, and the bag can be torn, saving time and effort.
Adapt to local conditions and technology helps
According to Gao Hongjun, the mayor of Gaojing Town, currently 62 communities in the town have begun to implement garbage classification. In the process of promotion, the town party committee and government chief take the lead, and each town leader is responsible for one community. The neighborhood committee property is the responsible entity, and volunteers and residents participate together. At the same time, considering the differences in population distribution and residents' release time, each community adapts to local conditions and achieves a "one-bedroom, one plan" for garbage classification.
In the early publicity and promotion, Gaojing Town established a garbage classification publicity team composed of "yellow vests", and toured in communities, parks, campuses, and camps through quick-pitched and sketches to improve the public's awareness and recognition of garbage classification knowledge. Not long ago, the town government also produced garbage sorting short videos through new media platforms such as Douyin and spread the environmental protection concept of "Garbage sorting starts with me", which is very popular among young citizens.
Residents' awareness of classification has increased, and supporting facilities must also "keep up with the times". Gaojing Town uniformly distributes household garbage two-classification bins to 60,000 household garbage bins in its jurisdiction. According to the classification standards, more than 2,000 dry and wet garbage bins are purchased for residential communities, and 33 simple garbage bin rooms are built for garbage bin rooms without garbage bin rooms, achieving full coverage of classification facilities and garbage bin rooms.What is even more eye-catching is that in order to increase residents' participation in garbage classification and the convenience of volunteers' daily ledger management, Gaojing Town has also worked with technology and financial enterprises to pilot the "three-in-one" of residents' green account cards, access control cards and charging pile cards with big data technology. In the future, it can also use account points to deduct property fees, so as to truly achieve "one card in hand and worry-free life".
