Regional Waste Treatment to Optimize Environmental Facilities

摘要

The EPA is now planning to take greater advantage of the treatment capacity of existing waste incinerators and landfills. Rather than having each locality dispose and treat its own household waste, long-term and short-term regional cooperation will be the new direction for waste treatment. The successive completion of waste incinerators in each county and municipality has led to an increase in the waste treatment capacity of several counties and municipalities. During the construction of these incinerators, the EPA attained outstanding results after several years of intense promotion to increase garbage sorting, recycling and reuse, and after two years of assistance to local governments to implement recycling systems for household food waste and discarded furniture. These factors have freed up space at certain existing county/ municipal waste treatment plants, allowing them to assist other counties and municipalities with waste treatment.
