Did you know?A small button battery containing heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, etc., rots in the soil, and a large piece of soil loses its "life".An ordinary energy-saving lamp contains about 05 milligrams of mercury, if 1 milligram of mercury leached into the ground, would cause 360 tons of water pollution;Most drugs are easy to decompose and evaporate after expiration, causing environmental pollution. This hazardous waste can pollute soil, air, and water, thereby harming people, other animals and plants, and the environment on which they depend.
1. Common hazardous garbage in life
(1) Mobile phone batteries, button batteries, battery car batteries, etc
(2) ScrapPaint buckets
(3) Disinfectants
(4) Fluorescent tubes
(5) Mercury-containing thermometers
(6) Waste drugs and their packaging, etc
Note:With the introduction of corresponding national policies and technological progress, the mainstream dry batteries on the market, such as No. 1, No. 5 and No. 7 batteries, are not hazardous waste and should be put into itGray in other trash cans
2. Take the hazardous garbage home
In recent years, with the deepening of garbage classification, the urban management department of Xinzhou District, together with the environmental protection department, has formed a closed-loop management system for the safe and standardized collection and transportation of hazardous waste through source classification, regular door-to-door collection, secondary sorting, standardized transportation and temporary storage, and finally harmless disposal at the end, so as to open up the key link of the "last mile" of garbage classification in the whole district.
(1) Points exchange promotes the Xi of garbage classification. Xinzhou District adheres to the principle of leading from point to area, and has built 97 provincial and municipal garbage classification demonstration sites, including 13 demonstration public institutions, 8 demonstration communities, 13 demonstration communities, and 63 demonstration villages, which have played a good demonstration and leading role. Many communities have set up intelligent garbage sorting and collection houses, and the Chengnan Huafu Community of Yicheng Street and the Xinao Community of Yangluo Development Zone have implemented the exchange of garbage classification points for daily necessities, and the participation rate of residents' garbage classification has reached more than 90%.
(2) Harmful for love, continue to carry out hazardous waste activities. Xinzhou District continued to carry out the "Harmful for Love, Hazardous Waste ** Day Activity", and organized staff to go deep into each community to carry out ** activities. In order to enhance the effectiveness of the activity, the staff "advertised" in advance through community WeChat groups, ** tweets, etc., and warmed up in advance. Publicity boards were also set up at the site to publicize the hazards of hazardous waste and the knowledge of garbage classification, which were welcomed by residents.
(3) Supervisors are on duty, and the source is strictly "filtered". "Expired medicines are hazardous waste and are strictly put in red bins. Recently, in Shangkun Greentown Community, Yicheng Street, Xinzhou District, Granny Chen, a resident, was preparing to put expired drugs into other garbage cans, and Li Hongxia, the supervisor next to her, patiently explained while correcting them. From time to time, residents come in to put out garbage, and she warmly greets everyone while helping residents sort and put out garbage.
(4) Customized collection and operation are more "rigorous". At the Gugang Organic Matter Treatment Station on Yicheng Street, Cai Mingwei, the first commissioner of GEM, has already carried the classified hazardous waste onto the car. Master Cai said, "There are a total of 15 streets in Xinzhou, there are 18 temporary storage points, we are each temporary storage point is inspected once a month, some points are relatively large, they will **notify us, we will come to the door**."
(5) Closed storage and "harmless" disposal. In the hazardous waste temporary storage warehouse in the first industrial park of GEM (Wuhan) Urban Mining Industry Group, the collector slowly unloads the hazardous waste on the car, classifies and places it in different areas, and then packs and seals it with different boxes or barrels. "This hazardous waste is packaged and sent to our company's terminal treatment plant by our special transport vehicles. After sorting and sorting, the staff put the lamps into professional packaging boxes, and sealed the boxes, each box is printed with the eye-catching words "hazardous garbage", after weighing, the two sides register and record, and form a handover account.
Manager Xu of GEM's environmental management department said: "These hazardous wastes should be recorded on the ledger after being put into storage, and then classified and stored in various areas, and after reaching a certain period or a certain amount, they will be handed over to relevant qualified professional companies to achieve zero discharge of harmful gases and hazardous waste substances through incineration, physicochemical wastewater treatment and other professional harmless absorption and disposal." "
According to statistics, so far in 2023, Xinzhou District has classified a total of 15 tons.
