The most important medical wastes produced by patients and suspected patients in COVID-19 in epidemic areas, hospitals and medical observation points, as well as garbage and discarded masks in isolation areas, can be seen from these relevant departments that medical wastes are managed in strict accordance with regulations. The garbage disposal of medical waste in general hospitals has special incineration, crushing and disinfection equipment, or it is the responsibility of a third-party environmental protection company.
Learn about the five-color trash can implemented some time ago, with green representing kitchen waste; Blue represents recyclable garbage; Gray represents wastes that are difficult to recycle except harmful substances and recyclable substances, which are generally burned and buried, and red represents harmful substances, sometimes marked with orange, including waste batteries, fluorescent tubes, paints, expired drugs, cosmetics and other substances that are not recyclable and have certain pollution hazards; Yellow, on the other hand, rarely appears in general public places, and the special trash can representing medical waste is generally only used in hospitals, health stations and other medical places. When the epidemic breaks out, manufacturers will temporarily replace the supply with red "harmful substances" barrels without extra yellow trash cans, and add special words.
In addition to the key protection of serious epidemic situation and the treatment of medical waste in susceptible areas, how should a large number of masks be treated as domestic waste in the special period when everyone uses masks for community life? This should be the last line of defense that cannot be ignored in epidemic prevention and control. It is reported that Fengtai District, Beijing has set up three scribing storage points for domestic waste related to the epidemic, which are treated in strict accordance with medical waste. It is understood that all communities in Fengtai have set up red trash cans dedicated to discarding masks, and the masks discarded by residents need to be wrapped in plastic bags and thrown into barrels. Community supervisors and property management personnel will spray and disinfect trash cans in time.
For those who have had close contact with confirmed or suspected patients and are currently isolated at home, the street arranges special personnel to collect domestic garbage related to the epidemic. Isolation personnel should classify and bag their garbage according to the prescribed classification method and give it to the door-to-door personnel. After disinfection, the collected domestic garbage related to the epidemic situation will be put into medical garbage bags and transported to temporary storage points. The sanitation center will arrange special personnel to transport them to centralized storage points, and notify Beijing Solid Waste Logistics Company to clear them in time.
The logistics department of ludong university has set up a special recycling bucket for used masks around the family area, so that teachers can consciously cut the used masks with scissors, wrap them in plastic bags and put them into the special bucket to prevent them from being recycled by criminals. It is also required not to put domestic garbage into a special bucket for mask recycling. Abandoned masks are under the unified responsibility of the school and hospital, and coordinated by the government epidemic prevention control department for centralized treatment. This is also a good example for colleges and universities to seriously deal with waste masks to prevent pollution, which has played a leading role.
Therefore, we once again call for mobilizing the strength of the community, setting up special garbage bins for mask recycling in urban communities as soon as possible, improving the process channels for mask garbage disposal, and conducting nationwide publicity as soon as possible. In the face of this invisible enemy, viruses are everywhere. I hope that after this epidemic, Chinese people can pay more attention to public health and safety, as well as the basic measures of self-protection and material reserves, so as not to let the material panic in this epidemic prevention war happen again!
