Waste Sorting 101

垃圾分类

Introductory Message

Waste-sorting is the new fashion. Following China’s waste-sorting pioneer Shanghai, Fuzhou's compulsory waste sorting begins. What is your attitude to this policy? Do you feel confused when facing a garbage? Our EC regular Sherry has kindly put some information together and would like to share her knowledge and opinions with us in an interactive manner.

In fact, the Chinese government's efforts to promote the waste-sorting systems date back to 2000. Trails were laughed in eight cities across China. However, according to a survey of 3,600 people living in major Chinese cities, nearly three-quarters of urban residents were unable to correctly identify how to sort their trash. Hopefully, we can have a constructive discussion this weekend, figuring out some feasible solutions to implement the policy.

紧跟魔都的脚步，福州的垃圾分类也如火如荼得开始了。家里是否领到了社区发放的双色垃圾桶和垃圾袋？是不是也开始了每天面对垃圾陷入人生沉思的阶段？我们英语角的常客Sherry姑娘精心整理了相关资讯与内容，将在周六的英语角与大家分享探讨。实际上，中国政府在2000年就在全国8个城市进行试点，尝试推广垃圾分类。不过一项2018年的调研表明，接近四分之三的城市居民无法正确地对生活垃圾进行归类。希望通过本周的英语角，我们能找到一些可行的解决方案。

20:30-20:50 Semi-Structured Discussion: Insights into Waste Sorting 半结构化讨论：垃圾分类学问谈

20:50-21:00 Closing 总结收尾

There are FIVE categories of materials citizens want to dispose of, namely
Household Food Waste 厨余（湿）垃圾
Other waste 其他垃圾
Recyclable 可回收物
Harmful Waste 有害垃圾 (a.k.a. Hazardous waste)
Large Garbage 大件垃圾 (a.k.a. household bulky waste)

An interesting observation is that when something is recyclable, it is not a waste. So you can call them recyclable items.

Compared to the Shanghai system, whose definitions of dry and wet waste are very confusing, I think this classification is relatively easier to follow.

If you do see a different version in your community, please share it here so that we can compare notes. Cheers.
