Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, made this small move, which is meaningful!

"Domestic waste classification is an important measure to improve the living environment, promote refined urban management and ensure sustainable development." Li Qiang said that it is necessary to comprehensively carry out domestic waste sorting with greater determination and strength.

Pick up a plastic bottle on the recycling rack, unscrew the bottle cap, flatten the bottle, roll up and fold the bottle body and put it back in its original place.

On February 18th, Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, demonstrated the correct way of "throwing bottles" during a special investigation on the classification of domestic waste.

Li Qiang’s move is small, but meaningful. In the view of Fuguimen (ID: fuguigate), this little detail in his investigation has at least three meanings:

First, by taking the lead in "demonstrating", we made a "general mobilization" of domestic waste classification, guided the public to actively participate in the construction of ecological civilization, and raised the awareness of environmental protection and public morality of the whole society.

Second, a "warm-up" and vivid "popularization of law" were carried out for the "Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste in Shanghai", which will be formally implemented on July 1.

At the end of January, this law, which is at the forefront of the country, was voted by the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, which means that the domestic waste classification work has been formally incorporated into the framework of the rule of law after being implemented in Shanghai for more than 20 years.

Third, it conveyed to the outside world the great significance of domestic waste classification in Shanghai, a megacity.

In 2018, the daily domestic garbage removal in Shanghai was close to 26,000 tons, and the annual domestic garbage production exceeded 9 million tons. Roughly estimated, if it is transported by 2.5 tons trucks, the domestic garbage generated in Shanghai every day can be transported around the inner ring of Shanghai by connecting the vehicles from head to tail.

For Shanghai, the implementation of compulsory garbage classification is not only the inherent requirement of fine urban management, but also the urgent matter to get out of the predicament of "garbage besieged city". Through the classified management of domestic waste, the efficiency of domestic waste recovery and resource utilization can be improved, and the amount of garbage disposal can be reduced by more than 35%, thus reducing the air and water pollution generated during the incineration and landfill of domestic waste, reducing the occupation of land by garbage disposal facilities such as landfills, optimizing the living environment and ensuring the urban ecology.

In November last year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed during his inspection work in Shanghai that garbage sorting is the new fashion! Comprehensive garbage disposal needs the participation of the whole people, and Shanghai should pay close attention to this work and do it well.

Li Qiang has always attached great importance to garbage sorting. He often mentioned this work in various meetings and research occasions, especially when he went to the town and village in the district to investigate, he always forgot to ask about the progress of garbage sorting, see the garbage bin room, listen to the grassroots experience and understand the opinions of the masses.

"Domestic waste classification is an important measure to improve the living environment, promote refined urban management and ensure sustainable development." In the special investigation on February 18th, Li Qiang said that it is necessary to comprehensively carry out domestic waste sorting with greater determination and strength, adhere to source reduction, whole-process sorting, harmless disposal at the end and resource utilization, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole people to participate, make waste sorting a new fashion, and better promote high-quality development and create a high-quality life.

Investigating the classification of domestic waste, Li Qiang, secretary of Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, demonstrated the correct way of "throwing bottles" on the spot.

On the afternoon of February 18th, Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, ran from Changning Hongqiao to Xuhui Huajing in the rain, and then turned back and drove to Pudong Old Port. This long-distance "pursuit" was only for one thing: the classification of domestic waste!

Presumably, everyone still remembers it. Last November, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was inspecting work in Shanghai, he came to the first sub-station of Jiaxing Road Street in Hongkou District, and had a cordial exchange with young people who were communicating with the community to promote waste sorting practices, and emphasized that waste sorting is the new fashion! Comprehensive garbage disposal needs the participation of the whole people, and Shanghai should pay close attention to this work and do it well.

As for the matter of garbage classification, Li Qiang often mentioned it in various meetings and research occasions, especially when I went to the town and village in the district for research, I always forgot to ask about the progress of garbage classification, look at the garbage bin house, listen to the grassroots experience, understand the opinions of the masses, and exchange views with grassroots comrades.

Just before the Chinese New Year, the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress voted and passed the Regulations on the Management of Domestic Waste in Shanghai, which will be implemented on July 1 this year. This means that the classification of domestic waste has been formally incorporated into the framework of the rule of law after more than 20 years of application for the city.

This special investigation on the 18th is obviously well prepared. The three research points cover the three most important links: source delivery, mid-end transshipment and terminal disposal.

The secretary of the municipal party Committee "demonstrated" the tips of garbage classification on the spot

The first stop of the investigation was the pilot community of Aijian Residential Area in Hongqiao Street, Changning District, and the participation rate of residents’ garbage sorting in this community increased from 5% at the beginning to 98%. Where’s the secret? On-site visit in Li Qiang. As soon as they arrived at the community, the cadres of the neighborhood Committee directly took the city leaders to the door of the garbage sorting box. The corner of this community was full of various elements of garbage sorting, and it was like having a live popularization class here.

Classification is good, trash can is the most intuitive reference. Li Qiang walked into the garbage sorting box room, and looked at two things, three questions, one by one "dig" the details of the daily collection and transportation times and the cleaning situation of the garbage bins. When he learned that the kitchen garbage bins were specially set up in the community and cleaned every day, he specially told the public to get used to garbage sorting. The cleaning of the garbage bins is also very important. Can the design be brighter and brighter, so that everyone can feel no different from the garbage bins at home and better guide everyone to participate in garbage sorting?

On the recyclable shelf at one side of the box room, various kinds of beverage bottles collected by residents are placed. Li Qiang picked up the plastic bottles, unscrewed the caps, squashed the bottles, rolled up and folded the bottles and put them back in their original places. I am very familiar with a set of procedures, and it seems that I am proficient in this. He smiled and said to the neighborhood cadres on the side, saving space and facilitating transshipment. After everyone has a sense of garbage classification, they should make efforts to reduce it. They can learn from the experience of some mature areas of garbage classification, spend more time and think more about small skills, and this field is promising.

The cadres of the neighborhood Committee showed Li Qiang a record book, which recorded the participation of each household in the community in garbage classification. "Volunteers are responsible for counting and ticking. At first, the record book was all unclassified. After more than a year of piloting, this line was basically eliminated."

This community implements the source classification of each household and puts it in at a fixed time. Every day from 9: 30 to 10: 30, the sanitation trucks that are responsible for clearing dry and wet garbage successively drive into the community. "Everyone sees that the sanitation trucks are loaded with dry and wet garbage separately, and they are relieved if they are not mixed." In the view of neighborhood cadres, the "dry-wet separation" of garbage trucks is the key to dispel residents’ concerns.

To this, Li Qiang also nodded in agreement. He said that if the source classification is done well, the wet garbage and recyclables mixed into the dry garbage will be less and less, which will lay a good foundation for the subsequent disposal of garbage. The classification of domestic waste depends on persistence and cultivation. I hope that with the joint efforts of all of us, garbage sorting will become a daily habit and the new fashion of garbage sorting will be further rooted in people’s hearts.

Dry and wet garbage is packed in different boxes, continuing the source classification.

After the source classification and collection, the intermediate classification and transshipment is an important link. The second stop that Li Qiang went to was Xupu Base, where domestic solid waste was transferred.

Whether container loading and transshipment strictly abide by the "garbage classification" is a focus of Li Qiang’s trip.

Li Qiang said that the citizens are very concerned about whether the later process will adhere to classified collection, classified transportation and classified treatment after the garbage is classified and put into use, and it is necessary to further overcome difficulties and improve the existing bottlenecks, so that the people can see the consistent classification effect.

The terminal disposal "outperforms" the front-end output, and we must grasp this main direction.

Only when the terminal disposal "outperforms" the front-end output can the garbage classification be truly implemented. The last stop of Li Qiang’s investigation is the Shanghai Laogang Eco-environmental Protection Base.

This domestic waste terminal disposal base, which has been running for more than 30 years, is upgrading to version 3.0, with reduction, recycling and harmless treatment as the main direction.

Li Qiang walked into the control room and operation room of the renewable energy center of the base, focusing on the terminal disposal technology of domestic garbage and the report on pollution prevention and clean discharge. The person in charge said that the recent new change, the separation of dry and wet garbage, has greatly promoted the efficiency of terminal disposal such as garbage incineration, further reduced energy consumption and pollution discharge, promoted the further improvement of resource utilization, and is forming a virtuous circle.

From the source to the end, every link is well guarded, and everyone starts from the side and starts from now. Why worry about "garbage siege"?
