With the improvement of our living standard, the amount of garbage is also increasing, but this brings great inconvenience to the disposal of garbage. Old people who collect waste products and old household appliances can always be seen in the streets and alleys. Their work is also resource recycling, but the scope is limited. Even if the garbage sorting measures are formally implemented, they can continue to work in this area, and their working methods may be adjusted, but the overall impact will not be too great.
Someone once said: there is no garbage in the world, only treasures that are misplaced!

Taobao is better than turning waste into treasure from garbage.
We usually think that fruit peels, vegetable leaves, toilet paper, and our lost hair are all unrecoverable garbage in our concept, but they are not. We usually eat the remaining peels of melons and fruits, and remove the leaves of vegetables and waste paper from toilets. These are all organic substances, which can be composted in situ by biotechnology to make organic fertilizer.
Wastes containing heavy metals and toxic substances that are harmful to human health or cause real or potential harm to the environment, such as old batteries, fluorescent tubes, mercury thermometers, paint buckets, expired drugs, cosmetics, etc., are generally recovered separately or buried after special treatment.
