How does Britain deal with garbage?

Ordinary domestic waste in Britain is collected by large garbage trucks in residential areas.

Generally, it is collected once a week, and the time for collecting garbage in each community varies from Monday to Friday.

Every kitchen is a big black plastic garbage bag. Because most fish and vegetables in Britain are carefully processed and don't produce too much garbage, a big garbage bag is enough to hold a week's garbage. .

Classified recycling in Britain:

Old books and newspapers, cartons, wine bottles, etc. You can't put it with domestic garbage.

There are usually five big iron boxes of different colors. Brown put brown empty wine bottles, green put green empty wine bottles, white put transparent glass bottles, red put waste paper boxes and waste paper shells, and blue put old newspapers.

The classification of garbage recycling in Britain is very fine. It's just that the discarded light bulbs and tubes are divided into several boxes. Not only light bulbs and tubes should be separated, but also those with different colors and shapes, not to mention waste batteries.

Old clothes should be sorted.

There are also some relatively large garbage, which are put in boxes as big as containers.

Generally, a garbage center is set up in an area, where people will drive garbage, such as unused electronic products, household appliances, plastic products, toys, beds, wooden objects, garden garbage and so on.

In fact, people in China are very happy in this respect. Scrap can still be sold for money, and someone will collect it.
