Problems And Solutions in Garbage Collection And Transportation

With the rapid development of urban economies and populations, urban construction is also evolving rapidly, and people's demands for a more comfortable living environment, especially for domestic waste treatment, are becoming increasingly stringent. At the same time, the amount of domestic waste produced is increasing dramatically, and existing treatment facilities are severely inadequate, with outdated equipment and technology, and poor environmental performance, making them unable to meet the needs of waste collection and transportation.

The current status of garbage collection and transportation in large and medium-sized cities reveals the following common problems:

1. Lack of garbage collection and transportation facilities and insufficient treatment capacity;

2. Dilapidated and damaged garbage collection and transportation facilities, urgently in need of upgrading and renovation;

3. Lack of land for garbage stations in old urban areas, resulting in significant resident complaints and the difficulty of renovation;

4. Outdated equipment and technology, resulting in poor economical and environmental performance;

5. Unreasonable garbage collection and transportation models, with direct transportation using compactor trucks and one-piece containers along open roads, still being prevalent.

Basic Solution Approach

Based on the actual situation of urban waste collection and transportation, the basic approach and goals are:

1. Increase investment, expand production capacity, renovate and upgrade old waste stations, and add new ones;

2. Eliminate outdated treatment facilities and equipment, such as waste stations and garbage houses without compression functions, and reduce the use of compression trucks and combined compression bins, which operate directly along roads in the open air;

3. For newly added small waste collection sites, utilize small, environmentally friendly underground waste compression stations. This is the best model for construction and renovation in older urban areas and is widely used in developed countries with limited land.

4. For areas in central urban areas with large waste volumes, long distances from landfills, and difficult transportation out of the city, utilize large underground waste transfer stations. This ensures both environmental protection and the actual needs of waste disposal.
