Beijing adapts new trash disposal systems

The Beijing government plans to accelerate the construction of trash recycling and incineration systems to cope with the growing quantity of household trash, reported the Beijing News.

According to the Beijing Municipal Commission of City Administration and Environment, burying trash was the main approach of trash disposal in Beijing before 2009. But as the current trash burying sites will be filled to capacity in the coming years, the city has updated its trash disposal systems, with incineration becoming the main approach.
