Sorting out the trash is taking off fast
Print Edition
In the early morning, Zhang Yukui turns on the loudspeaker on his pedicab and travels through the village of Xiaomiaozi in the city of Chifeng, the northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
鈥淕arbage sorting benefits the nation and the people. Dear fellow villagers, we must sort our garbage,鈥 it blares.
Hearing the loudspeaker, the villagers run out with large bags of sorted garbage.
鈥淕arbage sorting is a good thing and we鈥檙e used to it now,鈥 said 70-year-old villager Bi Yuliang. 鈥淭he roads were scattered with weeds, used bottles and torn cardboard. But now they鈥檙e as neat as in the cities. I鈥檓 delighted.鈥
Every household in the village has three dustbins to sort their rubbish and they are also given a brochure offering guidance on garbage sorting.
Zhang works as a cleaner in the village. He awards credits to each household based on their performance on garbage classification. These credits can be used to redeem commodities such as laundry detergent, rice and flour.
鈥淓veryone now does a good job in garbage sorting,鈥 said Zhang, adding the garbage will then be transported to the nearby landfill or garbage-disposal site. The village generates about three to four cubic meters of garbage every day.
