Medical supplies recycling and sorting equipment

These days, has your circle of friends been screened by a picture of four types of garbage? Under the four categories of dry garbage, wet garbage, harmful waste and recyclables, 25-26 specific garbage items are listed respectively. Many netizens praised, forwarded, collected and even began to "recite".

However, if you throw garbage according to this picture, you may throw it wrong!

On the night of June 12, the Shanghai Municipal Garbage Management Office passed its WeChat WeChat official account "Where is the garbage?" "Refute" this picture of garbage classification from unknown sources and point out the mistakes one by one.

The pictures of garbage classification marked with small crosses forwarded by friends circle are all wrong. The pictures in this article are all from WeChat official account "Where is the garbage?"

Wet garbage: basically no problem.

hazardous waste

Error 1:

This form includes many household medical supplies into hazardous waste, such as band-AIDS, medical cotton swabs, medical gauze, syringes and so on.

We can understand the reasons for this classification, just as the word "medicine" naturally has the feeling of danger and waste, and nature is "direct or potential harm to human health or the natural environment".

But first of all, the amount of such medical supplies in our life is very small, which is different from the large amount of medical waste produced by hospitals and other medical places;

Secondly, before the harmful waste produced in residential areas enters the terminal for disposal, there is a pretreatment and sorting link, which involves manual sorting. From a natural point of view, it is unsafe for such used things to directly contact the human body;

Thirdly, the output of harmful waste in residential areas is small, and the removal frequency is much lower than that of dry garbage, so there are health hazards when such items are stored in residential areas.

Therefore, it is suggested that cotton swabs, gauze, band-AIDS, especially syringes, which are produced sporadically at home, be put into hospitals, community hospitals or pharmacies with medical waste recycling facilities.

Error 2:

Lighters, color palettes, watercolor pens, glow sticks, expired cosmetics and hair gel don't need to be picked out separately, just throw them into the dry trash can.

Error 3:

Perfume bottles are generally made of glass, so they are recyclable. Similarly, there are metal gas tanks. Remember to empty these things before you put them in.

Tips:

In fact, there are not many harmful wastes in our life. Waste batteries, waste lamps, waste medicines, waste paints and their containers are the most common harmful waste in our life.

Recyclable: This column basically follows the principle of "glass, gold, plastic, paper and clothing"

Error 1:

It is not recommended to put the toothbrush in a recyclable box, but it is recommended to put dry garbage. First, it is in close contact with the human body; Secondly, the composition of the front end of the toothbrush is not plastic. Therefore, this composite material can be directly put into the dry trash can.

Error 2:

The requirements for putting recyclable materials are: clean and dry, and the contents need to be emptied before putting them in clean. It is difficult to clean the contents of the toothpaste tube thoroughly, so the toothpaste tube is better than dry garbage.

Residual waste

Error 1:

Old bathtubs, broken toilets, old sinks, bricks, muck and tiles can't be counted as daily life garbage, but belong to decoration garbage. When throwing these garbage, you should put them into the designated decoration garbage drop point in the community.

Regarding decoration waste, there are clear provisions and requirements in the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on the Management of Construction Waste Disposal, and littering is also illegal.

Error 2:

The pots, cans and cups mentioned in this paper have certain recycling value if they are made of glass, metal and plastic. Similarly, wooden combs and basketball can also be recycled, so this kind can be put into a recycling bin.

Error 3:

Peanut shells belong to wet garbage.

The correct chart should be as follows.

At the same time, WeChat WeChat official account "Where is the garbage?" The official released an accurate picture of garbage classification, namely "Shanghai Domestic Waste Classification and Delivery Guide 20 19". According to this delivery guide, classified delivery is the best choice.
