Taiyuan city will build 10 domestic garbage sorting centers -- and the existing 101 garbage transfer stations in the city will equipped with collection boxes to store recyclable and hazardous waste by 2020. 

They said that domestic garbage classification has been basically implemented across Taiyuan, following the construction of infrastructure and garbage sorting promotions conducted over the past six months. 

Among over 730 communities currently implementing domestic garbage classifications, around 10 have become demonstration communities for domestic refuse sorting. 

According to the Taiyuan City Domestic Waste Classification Action Plan 2020, all streets and towns across the city will roll out the construction of garbage classification facilities. 

The first 26 streets and towns and four economic and technological development areas will all implement garbage sorting before the Spring Festival, which falls on Jan 25. 

Residential areas in these regions will be all equipped with garbage classification facilities, officials said. 

A supervisor responsible for domestic garbage classifications and a garbage sorting and a collection site will be arranged for every 300-500 residents. Every 500-3,000 residents will have two or three refuse-sorting and collection vehicles. 

In addition, Taiyuan will build additional kitchen waste treatment facilities for community residents, which can handle 600 metric tons of waste daily, by the end of August next year. By the end of June next year, the existing kitchen waste treatment plants will increase their waste treatment capacity to 500 tons daily, to treat kitchen waste collected from hotels, restaurants and canteens in the city.
