Recently, the first smart garbage classification and recycling station was set up in Zhuangyuanfu Community.

The recyclable waste container is blue, the harmful waste container is red, and the middle part in green is the operation zone. You can click on the smart screen and select “scanning IC card to drop”, “scanning code to drop” or “typing phone number to drop”. when Ms. Gao typed her mobile phone number, the screen showed the waste category and the recycling method to get paid. 0.5 yuan/kg for the plastic, 0.5 yuan/kg for the metal, 0.8 yuan/kg for the paper product, 0.2 yuan/kg for the fabric, 0.01 Yuan / kg for the mixed, and 0.0 yuan / kg for the harmful. The door automatically opened when Ms. Gao chose paper waste, then closed after her dropping. The money will be stored into her mobile phone account after weighing. Then the next item can be conscientiously selected and dropped.
