How to do garbage sorting
1, correctly classified before delivery.
At home, we should sort out the garbage and put different kinds of garbage in their own trash cans. Paper should be neatly stacked, bundled as much as possible, and kept dry. Plastic garbage should be cleaned up. Bottles and cans should be cleaned as much as possible and put into use after being squashed. Kitchen waste should be bagged, sealed and drained. Glass items should be handled carefully to avoid damage.
2. Put it in the designated position when you put it in.
When placing, it should be placed in the designated place and container respectively according to the garbage classification identification. If you are not sure about the kind of garbage, you can ask the staff before putting it in.
Garbage sorting can facilitate later garbage disposal, recycle recyclable materials, reduce incineration and burial of domestic garbage, and also reduce air and water pollution during garbage disposal.
