In the Jingjing Garden of Tianhe District, there are more than 100 buildings in the community. The reporter saw that the residential buildings are equipped with small waste battery recycling bins, which are hung on the walls and have "waste battery recycling bins". Residents can see it.

The recycling bin was installed by the owner of the community, Chen Hao, who was the volunteer of the Guangdong Lions Club and the captain of the Baiyun Service Team. He told reporters that there are more than 8,000 households in the Junjing Garden, and tens of thousands of people live there, but the community has no matching recycling points for used batteries. "I didn't know where to throw the used batteries before. Later, when people talk about garbage sorting, many residents have the awareness that the battery can't be thrown away, but I don't know where to throw it. I want to sort the garbage. Let the battery be thrown apart."

So, in July this year, Chen Hao bought back more than 100 used battery recycling bins, one cost 60 yuan. After the purchase, he joined the property management office and installed the elevators in each building of the residential area to facilitate residents. In addition, more than 80 owners in the community also spontaneously established a volunteer team called "You Wo Public Welfare".

"There are more than 400 kilograms. Dry batteries, there are also mobile phones, camera batteries, rechargeable batteries, etc".

"The first three bags, the second two bags, this time just collected, two large bags. Each bag is more than 200 kilograms. Three times together, I collected more than 1,500 kilograms." After collecting the batteries, they will contact the environmental protection organization. "Environmental organizations will classify them again, and harmful ones will be professionally processed."

Ms. Wang, who lives in the district of Jun Tengxuan, said, "In the past, the battery didn't know where to throw it. It's just unbearable to throw away the fear of polluting the environment. Now there are places to throw, it's very convenient, and there is professional handling, and you can rest assured."

City Management Committee: No. 5 battery No. 7 can be discarded as household garbage

For a community with a used battery waste bin or recycling bin, it is convenient for residents to throw away used batteries, but how can a residential community not handle used batteries? Miss Wu, who lives in Panyu Agile, said that she did not find a special waste battery bin in her community. The reporter consulted the property management office of the community. The staff of the property management office said that in the past, there was a special waste battery bin in the community.

The public does not have to accumulate the batteries because there is not have a special recycling bin, however they become a lot of waste instead. The rechargeable batteries, such as mobile phone cameras, are harmful garbage. The relevant regulations are clear, the urban management committee will allocate corresponding hazardous garbage bins in the public places, but the shopping malls and residential areas need the property management office to configure them.
