When Shanghai started garbage-sorting (垃圾分类) in July last year, the city's residents (居民) took some time to get used to it. They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, "What kind of garbage are you "
Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cites by introducing a new garbage-sorting way, People's Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste.
These groups have four different colors of rubbish bins—green, blue, red and gray. Those who fail to sort their rubbish correctly may be ordered to pay up to 200 yuan, Xinhua reported.
The way Beijing sorts its rubbish sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garbage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste, China Youth Daily reported.
To help residents sort their rubbish correctly, the Beijing government is offering online advice.
If people don't know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. By searching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste is of.
26. What do we know from this story
