What kind of garbage does the waste dry battery belong to?

Whether the dry battery is other garbage or harmful garbage, confused the two mayors of Guangzhou! Mayor jianhua Chen pointed out a minor plot error after attending the premiere of the micro film "Habits* Love" yesterday morning. "The battery is harmful garbage, not other garbage, and it is expected that the film will be corrected." According to the relevant regulations on waste classification in Guangzhou, dry batteries belong to other garbage, and rechargeable batteries and button batteries are classified as hazardous waste. According to the Southern Reporter, as early as 2009, Guangzhou Mayor Guangning Zhang also missed this issue.

The micro-movie "Habits* Love" tells the story of a Guangzhou family. The husband’s bad habits led to family wars, and the departure of his wife inspired his husband to undergo a transformation. In this process, the child became the "instructor" of Dad's "lost garbage."

“The practice of garbage sorting proves that it is impossible to achieve the participation of the whole society and everyone. It is strived that 80% of the community can participate in the promotion of garbage sorting at the end of this year.” Jianhua Chen still did not forget to vigorously promote the garbage classification after the premiere. Then he turned his head. "There is a small difference. The battery is not other garbage. It is harmful to the garbage. I hope the film will be changed." There was a plot in the original microfilm. When the child was guiding the father's garbage classification, he took a section No.1 battery is called "other garbage."

The "Habits* Love" producer later explained that the micro-films classified the disposable batteries as other garbage, according to the Guangzhou Municipal Food Waste Classification Guidelines. The guidelines are based on the 2004 national environmental pollution policy for waste battery pollution. Low-mercury, mercury-free disposable batteries do not encourage centralized recycling. Therefore, at present, Guangzhou only lists rechargeable batteries and button batteries as hazardous waste. The relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Urban Management Committee confirmed this statement.

In fact, in April 2009, the then mayor Guangning Zhang instructed the recycling of waste batteries when he inspected the garbage collection demonstration site in Liwan District. At the time, Zhiyi Lv, the director of the Guangzhou Municipal Environmental Sanitation Bureau, explained that the public has been able to mix used batteries into domestic garbage. “Does the waste battery need to be recycled?” Mayor Zhang was a bit confused.

Well-known environmentalists "Basuo Fengyun" recommended that the standard of hazardous waste is strict. Regardless of the type of battery, the government collects and treats hazardous waste. "In terms of operation, it is very difficult for the public to judge whether the battery is disposable or rechargeable before throwing garbage, and the disposable dry battery is not good to burn, it is not easy to bury. It is not recommended to treat it according to other garbage." "It is recommended that the disposable dry batteries be included in hazardous waste, and the government will introduce a recycling and subsidy policy to attract enterprises to participate.
