Original title: The new rules of domestic waste classification in this city will be implemented in May next year, and the four-point division of domestic waste will be clearly defined. Individuals who violate the rules will be subject to "teaching and punishment at the same time"
On the afternoon of November 27th, the decision to amend the Regulations on Domestic Waste Management in Beijing was passed by the 16th meeting of the 15th Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, and the revised regulations will be officially implemented on May 1st, 2020. This is the first time that the city has revised the regulations since the implementation of the regulations in 2012.
The revised regulations make it clear for the first time that units and individuals are responsible for the classified delivery of domestic garbage, and combine education with punishment for individuals’ illegal delivery of garbage. Individuals who violate the regulations "refuse to change after repeated education" can be fined in 200 yuan at the highest. In addition, restaurants and hotels are required not to provide disposable articles on their own initiative, and penalties have been increased for the phenomenon of "mixed loading and mixed transportation".
At the subsequent press conference, Wang Rongmei, director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, Hao Zhilan, director of the Urban Construction Environmental Protection Office of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People’s Congress, and Sun Xinjun, director of the Municipal Urban Management Committee, further introduced the background, key contents and the next implementation measures of the regulations.
Keywords: source reduction
The use of disposable items is put on a "tightening spell". Restaurants and hotels that offer disposable items can be fined up to 50,000 yuan.
Source reduction is the key link to fully implement the garbage classification system. This revision further improves the source reduction measures and strengthens the rigid constraints of the system. The regulations stipulate that party and government organs and institutions should carry out paperless office, increase the proportion of recycled paper, and do not use disposable cups.
Starting from saving resources, reducing consumption and guiding green consumption, the regulations clearly stipulate that catering operators, catering distribution service providers and hotel business units shall not provide disposable items on their own initiative, and shall set up eye-catching signs. The detailed catalogue of disposable articles shall be formulated and published by the Municipal Urban Management Committee together with relevant departments.
In violation of the provisions of the initiative to provide disposable supplies, the comprehensive law enforcement department of urban management shall be ordered to immediately rectify and impose a fine of 5000 yuan or more and 10 thousand yuan or less; Violation of the provisions again, a fine of 10 thousand yuan and 50 thousand yuan.
At the same time, the city will take measures to gradually promote the listing of clean vegetables, and the specific measures will be formulated by the municipal commercial department in conjunction with the municipal agricultural and rural departments. If a large-scale wholesale vegetable and fruit market, farmer’s market and logistics distribution center are newly built, the construction unit shall simultaneously configure the local treatment facilities for waste vegetables and fruits in accordance with the planning and standards.
Superthin plastic bags are not allowed in supermarkets.
The environmental problems caused by massive express packaging waste can not be ignored. The regulations stipulate that express delivery companies should use electronic waybills and degradable and reusable environmental protection packaging materials to reduce the excessive use of packaging materials and encourage them to take measures to recycle packaging materials. At the same time, it is required that e-commerce operators selling goods in this city should choose express delivery companies that use environmentally friendly packaging materials.
In addition, it is forbidden to produce and sell ultra-thin plastic bags in this city. It is clear that supermarkets, shopping malls, bazaars and other retail places shall not use ultra-thin plastic bags and shall not provide plastic bags free of charge.
Those who use ultra-thin plastic bags in violation of regulations will be ordered by the market supervision department to rectify immediately and be fined between 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan; Violation of the provisions again, a fine of 10 thousand yuan and 50 thousand yuan.
Keywords: classification standards and trash can settings
Clarify the quartering method and set barrels according to local conditions
How many types of garbage are put in? In order to facilitate the public’s understanding of waste classification and avoid conceptual confusion, the regulations further simplify the waste classification standards, integrate kitchen waste and kitchen waste into one category of kitchen waste, and make it clear that domestic waste is divided into four basic categories: kitchen waste, recyclables, harmful waste and other wastes, and give definitions in the annex.
For the setting of trash cans, the regulations distinguish between office or production and business premises, residential quarters, natural villages and other public places, and put forward detailed setting requirements respectively. Among them, for residential quarters and natural villages, it is required to set up kitchen waste and other garbage collection containers in groups, and at least one garbage trading point should set up recyclable and harmful waste collection containers. Party and government organs, enterprises and institutions, social organizations and other units of the office or production and business premises should be set up according to the needs of four types of collection containers. Other public places can set up two kinds of collection containers for recyclables and other garbage as needed.
At the same time, it is clear that the Municipal Urban Management Committee has formulated norms on the color, graphic identification, setting standards and locations of classified collection containers, and announced them to the public.
Keywords: mandatory classification
Individuals will bear the obligation to classify domestic waste. Individuals who "do not change after repeated education" can be fined up to 200 yuan
In order to realize the requirement of compulsory classification of domestic waste in key cities such as Beijing determined by the State Council before the end of 2020, the regulations clearly stipulate that units and individuals that produce domestic waste are responsible for classified delivery, and should deliver garbage in accordance with the regulations. In the way of punishment, a punishment gradient is set, and those who violate the regulations again after being punished for violating the law will be punished more severely.
Specifically, for units that violate the regulations, the comprehensive law enforcement department of urban management shall order them to correct immediately and impose a fine on 1000 yuan; Violation of the provisions again, a fine of 10 thousand yuan and 50 thousand yuan.
For individuals who violate the regulations, the person in charge of domestic waste classification management shall dissuade them; Those who refuse to listen to dissuasion shall report to the comprehensive law enforcement department of urban management, which shall give a written warning. Those who violate the regulations again shall be fined from 50 yuan to 200 yuan.
In order to embody the spirit of "education first, punishment later", the regulations stipulate that if the punished individual voluntarily participates in community service activities such as domestic waste sorting, no administrative punishment will be imposed.
Classification does not meet the standard collection and transportation units can report.

In addition, domestic garbage should be collected and transported by qualified units, and the behavior of sorting and mixing classified garbage should be stopped in time.
Violation of relevant regulations will be ordered to correct immediately, and a fine of more than 3,000 yuan and less than 30,000 yuan will be imposed. If the person in charge of the classification hands over the domestic garbage to an enterprise or individual for disposal without permission or filing, a fine of 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan may be imposed.
In life, property management companies mainly undertake the responsibility of classified management of domestic waste in urban residential areas, including residential quarters, hutongs, streets and lanes. The regulations stipulate that the municipal housing and urban-rural construction department shall urge property service enterprises to fulfill their obligations. In view of the situation that the person responsible for classified management cannot be determined, the subdistrict office or township government is required to organize the determination and announce it to the public.
In order to further play the role of reversal, the regulations stipulate that, in addition to the person in charge of classification management, the collection, transportation and disposal units can each supervise whether the domestic garbage delivered in the previous link meets the classification standards. If it is found that it does not meet the standards, it has the right to request correction; Refuses to correct, it shall report to the urban management law enforcement department.
The urban management department shall, jointly with relevant departments, formulate the overall layout of collection, transshipment and treatment facilities and recycling facilities for renewable resources, as well as the management norms and technical standards for collection, transportation and treatment.

Residents abide by the regulations and do a good job in garbage sorting, but the vehicles that come to collect and transport are "mixed and transported", which has seriously hit the enthusiasm of source sorting. This revision has further increased the penalties for such illegal acts.
According to the regulations, units that collect and transport domestic garbage shall transport domestic garbage to centralized collection facilities or transshipment and treatment facilities that meet the requirements, and shall not be mixed and transported, and shall not be dumped, discarded, scattered or piled up at will. In violation of the provisions, the comprehensive law enforcement department of urban management shall order it to be removed, and the penalty amount shall be adjusted from the previous 5,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. If the circumstances are serious, the business license for collecting and transporting domestic garbage may be revoked.
