[4] Legislation on garbage classification has caused housing prices around landfills to skyrocket by 30 times; seize the opportunity to get rich quickly.

Today marks the Nth day that Shanghai residents have been driven crazy by garbage classification. After a trial period, on July 1st, Shanghai officially implemented the "strictest garbage classification" management measures.

Although garbage classification benefits the present and future generations, BUT, after seeing the current situation of Shanghai residents, I...

After the trial of garbage classification, the daily searches of Shanghai residents are as follows ↓↓, unable to distinguish between dry and wet garbage.

Most residential areas have fixed garbage disposal times between 7-9 AM and 5-8 PM, with designated disposal locations.

This is a nightmare for office workers.

Yes, the 996 crowd doesn't deserve to throw out trash.

Miss the trash time and you have to hoard it. In this summer heat, leaving takeout leftovers for a day or two without tossing them—the stench...

Watching the tormented netizens in Shanghai, people in Shenzhen are starting to tremble too...

According to the latest announcement from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, by the end of 2020, the following 46 key cities should have basically established a garbage sorting and processing system: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shijiazhuang, Handan, Taiyuan, Hohhot, Shenyang, Dalian, Changchun, Harbin, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Hefei, Tongling, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Nanchang, Yichun, Zhengzhou, Jinan, Tai'an, Qingdao, Wuhan, Yichang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanning, Haikou, Chengdu, Guangyuan, Deyang, Guiyang, Kunming, Lhasa, Shigatse, Xi'an, Xianyang, Lanzhou, Xining, Yinchuan, and Urumqi.

Nothing more to say, first buy a few books to practice the skill of throwing away trash.

Of course, this change represents real progress in China's environmental protection efforts, gradually aligning with countries like Japan and South Korea.

I wonder if, following this trend, China's legislation on waste management will also gradually approach that of Japan and South Korea.

In South Korea, failing to sort trash can result in a fine of 1 million won.

South Korea divides household waste into four categories; if you don't use trash bags or fail to sort, you can be fined at least 200,000 won (about 1,200 RMB).

If you don't use the designated bags or don't throw away trash at the specified times, residents can be fined up to 1 million won (about 6,000 RMB).

Japan's waste sorting management is considered the best in the world.

Japan has an abundance of laws on waste management, with penalties among the harshest globally. According to Article 25, Paragraph 14 of the Waste Disposal Law:

"Those who illegally dump waste will be sentenced to up to five years in prison and fined up to 10 million yen (approximately 830,000 RMB)."

"If the illegal dumping is committed by a corporation or legal entity, a heavy fine of up to 300 million yen (approximately 25 million RMB) will be imposed. Additionally, Japanese law stipulates that citizens have a duty to report those who illegally dump waste."

China's current legislation on waste management:

"Individuals who mix waste when disposing may face a maximum fine of 200 yuan; entities that mix waste in collection and transport may face a maximum fine of 50,000 yuan."

If the penalty still results in a tie, the consequences will be even more severe.

"According to the law, the information of the violator will be included in the public credit platform, and credit punishment will be implemented."

Netizens in Shanghai said that in the future, when renting or buying a house, whether the community sets up 24-hour trash bins and the distance to the garbage station will become key considerations in choosing a property.

As early as a few years ago, news reports indicated that in Japan and South Korea, the closer to a garbage station, the higher the housing prices. In Seoul, South Korea, housing prices around garbage dumps surged by 30 times!

We always talk about garbage dumps with fear—pungent smells, messy scenes, and thick smoke. But today's garbage dumps are no longer what they used to be. This is the ecological waste treatment plant in Hangzhou Jiufeng, which started operation in 2018. It has no pungent smells and does not emit harmful substances.

After seeing this, you'll understand why housing prices around garbage dumps have skyrocketed...

The nationwide promotion of garbage classification is imperative, and eco-friendly waste treatment sites will inevitably spread across cities. Whether property prices near these sites will surge is worth attention, but the legal framework for waste management must not be overlooked, or one might accidentally break the law while disposing of trash.
