Dumpling leaves are dry garbage. Although its characteristics are much like wet garbage, it is hard and tough and cannot be treated in the same way as wet garbage, so it is classified as dry garbage.

After the introduction of garbage classification, many people are unable to distinguish wet garbage from dry garbage. Wet garbage refers to easily decaying garbage, such as leftovers, traditional Chinese medicine residues and flowers and plants, which need special treatment to turn them into soil fertilizer.

Dry garbage refers to household garbage other than wet garbage, recyclable garbage, and hazardous garbage, including soiled paper, diapers, soiled plastics, nylon products, hair, ashes, slag, play dough, mirrors, and ceramic products.

While most garbage can be categorized according to this nature, it is not comprehensive enough to judge which type of garbage it belongs to only from the nature and characteristics of the garbage, and some garbage that looks like wet garbage actually belongs to dry garbage.

When classifying garbage, many people think that corn coats and rice dumpling leaves are moldy and rotting and should belong to wet garbage, and that sugarcane peels are similar to withered leaves and should belong to wet garbage, but in fact, they all belong to dry garbage.

This kind of garbage, if handled according to the wet garbage treatment method, is easy to damage the equipment and affect the operation of the equipment, so it can only be classified as dry garbage. In addition to this, durian shells, big bones, coconut shells, pineapple honey kernels also belong to dry garbage.
