北京市生活垃圾治理白皮书
Foreword
In order to enhance the
urban function of the capital and improve the
living standard of residents, the Beijing
Municipal Government has been increasing its
investment in domestic garbage disposal
facilities and its emphasis in comprehensive
environmental treatment, leading to a
significant improvement on the urban and
suburban environment. However, it is still
difficult to make the current situation of
domestic garbage disposal meet the requirement
of the social and economic development in the
future, when assessed according to the
requirements of hosting the forthcoming Olympic
Game with the best quality, taking the lead in
basically accomplishing modernization and
becoming a modern metropolitan city with
international dimension. After the epidemic of
SARS, people from all walks of life, including
citizens pay more attention upon environmental
sanitation, both urban and suburban, and show
stronger desire in environment protection and
pursuit of civilized and healthy lifestyle. This
makes it urgent to prepare the “White Paper on
The Disposal of Domestic Garbage In Beijing”
(hereinafter referred to as the “White
Paper”), a paper to be drafted to
incorporate a clear objective and efficient
implementation methods and to meet the
requirements of “Green Olympic”, to guide the
further development of the domestic garbage
disposal management in Beijing.
In line with the decisions
of the Beijing Municipal Government, Beijing
Municipal Administration Commission initiated
the drafting of the White Paper, based on “The
Outline of the Tenth Five-Year Plan on Beijing
National Economic and Social Development”, “The
Layout on the Establishment of the Garbage
Disposal Facilities to Fulfill Olympic
Implementation Plan” and “Beijing Metropolis
Appearance and Enviromental Sanitation
Regulations”, and in consideration of the
post-SARS situation. When drafting this White
Paper, Beijing Municipal Administration
Commission fully absorbed the advanced concepts,
both domestic and abroad, and widely sought the
opinions and proposals from various district and
county governments, relevant departments,
relevant social bodies and experts. This
drafting has been passed in the regular meeting
of the Municipal Government.
The White Paper, by
framing the reduction of, resource utilization
of, pollution-free treatment of and
industrialization of the domestic garbage, by
focusing on the solutions to the present
problems in connection with the collection and
disposal of the domestic garbage and medical
waste, and based on the analysis of the present
situation and problems of the garbage disposal
in Beijing, proposes the principles, aims, tasks
and solutions of the domestic garbage disposal.
The proposed aims and tasks shall be completed
entirely by the year 2008.
I. The Present
Situation Of Garbage Disposal And The Relevant
Forecast
1. The
Development
- 1.1 Since 1980’s, especially during the
period of “the Ninth Five-Year Plan”, both
Beijing Municipal Government and District
Governments have been increasing their
investment in, and accelerating the
establishment of, environmental protection
facilities, and improving the relating
management system. The system for the domestic
garbage’s collection, transportation and
disposal has been formed essentially. The method
for the collection of the urban domestic garbage
has developed from that of manual work like
emptying garbage when the bell rung to that of
mechanized and obturated work; and the disposal
methods have developed from those of open-air
pileup and of simplified burial to those of the
pollution-free sanitary burial (the main
method), of incineration, of composting and of
comprehensive disposals (the auxiliary
methods).
- 2.
The
Present Situation
1.2 The Volume Of
Garbage
In Beijing, the daily
average volume of garbage is 0.82 kg per person.
The average volume of garbage for the whole city
is 11,500 tons per day and 4,210,000 tons per
year. The daily average volume of medical waste
is more than 40 tons and the daily average
volume of dining and kitchen waste is around
1,050 tons.
1.3 Garbage
Collection
The main method of
collection is that garbage is collected and sent
to the designated garbage stations by the
environmental sanitation service centers of
districts, cleaning maintenance teams of streets
and property management companies, and
subsequently sent by the specialist teams to
garbage treatment plants; the garbage produced
by governmental offices, enterprises and social
bodies shall be collected by environmental
protection specialist teams under the relating
contracts.
1.4 Garbage
Classification
There are more than 3000
residential communities, mansions and industrial
zones in Beijing(among
which 1500 have been covered by property
management), and the
garbage classification, collection,
transportation and disposal have been operated
in 465 of them. The proportion of the
classification of the city domestic garbage is
15%.
1.5 Garbage
Disposal
The main methods include
sanitary burial, composting and incineration, as
proportion of 89.6%, 5.8% and 4.6% respectively.
17 garbage treatment facilities, composing of 9
sanitary burial fields, 2 junk composting
factories, 2 incineration factories and 4
transportation transfer stations, have been set
up. The daily garbage treatment capacity is
8,800 tons and the resource utilization rate is
10%.
1.6 Cleaning And
Maintenance
The task is divided as
follows: the trunk-roads of the city, such as
Chang An Avenue, the Second Circle, the Third
Circle and the Forth Circle, are under the
responsibilities of specialist companies; the
branch-roads are under the responsibilities of
the environmental sanitation service centers of
the counties and districts where they are
located; the alleys and bystreets are under the
responsibilities of subdistrict offices;
residential communities and residential fallow
premiers are under the responsibilities of
property management companies; highways and
expressways are under the responsibilities of
their respective owners.
1.7 Garbage
Management
The fairly developed garbage
treatment management system has been formed in
main areas of the eight urban districts and
suburban satellite towns, but unavailable in the
crossing border between the urban and rural
areas and the suburban townships, where the
open-air pileup or simple burial is common. Due
to the undeveloped garbage management in most of
the area of the rural areas, the volume of the
domestic garbage actually transported therefrom
to the treatment centers is only 3,210,000 tons
per year.
1.8
Fees
Three kinds of fees are
charged on individuals and entities concerned:
the regular cleaning and maintenance fee,
charged by relevant cleaning companies or
property management companies; the city domestic
garbage disposal fee, at 3 Yuan per household
per month (in respect of temporary residents, 2
Yuan per person per month), collected by
relevant community neighborhood committees or
community property management companies by
commission; the entrusted cleaning and
transporting fee, at 25 Yuan per ton, charged by
relevant cleaning and transporting companies
upon the entrusters.
3. The Forecast On
The Volume, Classification And Components Of
Domestic Garbage
1.9 Variation On
The Volume Of Garbage.
As the population expands,
the economy develops and the living quality of
people increases, the volume of garbage
increases at a speed around 2% per year. By year
2008, the daily garbage volume of Beijing will
reach 12,000 tons and annually, 4,380,000 tons.
The daily medical waste will reach around 60
tons and the daily dining and kitchen garbage
around 1,200 tons.
1.10 Changes On
Classification.
As the environmental
protection awareness of residents improves and
the favorable government policies promote, it
will climb gradually year by year for the
application of garbage early-stage
classification and the resource utilization
rate. It is forecasted that the number of the
communities, mansions and industrial zones with
garbage classification will increase by 200-300
every year from now on, leading to a reduction
on the annual garbage volume at 44,000
tons.
1.11 Changes In
Garbage Components
As the living quality of
people increases, the trends of the components
variation of domestic garbage shall be as
follows: - calorie keeps climbing, gravitational
density declining, and the proportion of organic
substances and the volume of recyclable
substances increasing.
