How to determine the location of trash cans in cities?

In the city, trash cans can be seen almost everywhere. In fact, the placement of trash cans is not random, but has certain regularity. Putting garbage bins correctly and scientifically can greatly improve the recovery rate of urban garbage and effectively improve the cleanliness of the city.

Service radius of trash can.

First of all, the placement of the trash can depends on the living area it can serve. According to "Code for Planning of Urban Environmental Sanitation Facilities" and "Standard for Setting Urban Environmental Sanitation Facilities", the location of domestic garbage containers and bagged garbage collection and stacking points for residents should be fixed, which should not only meet the requirements of convenience for residents, but also facilitate the classified collection and mechanized removal of garbage. The service radius of the general domestic garbage collection point should not exceed 70 meters, that is to say, at least one trash can should be set every 70 meters in the living area. Except the living area, the capacity of other garbage containers should be calculated according to the user population and daily garbage discharge, and the total capacity of garbage storage containers must meet the use needs to avoid the impact of garbage overflow on the environment. For example, the commercial street spacing should be 25 to 50 meters, the traffic trunk road spacing should be 50 to 80 meters, and the general road spacing should be 80 meters to 100 meters.

How to design the location of trash can?

In order to prolong the service life of garbage cans, urban designers will comprehensively consider many factors when placing garbage cans, such as whether they should be placed under trees and whether more garbage cans should be placed at intersections. Generally speaking, placing the trash can in the shade can effectively avoid the erosion of wind and rain, thus prolonging the service life of the trash can to some extent. In addition, when placing trash cans, we should also pay attention to avoiding functional areas such as blind roads.

The more trash cans you put, the better.

Many people will think, since there is so much garbage in the city, is it better to set up more garbage bins? Actually, it's not. Too many garbage bins will not only lead to the waste of public resources, but also hinder the effective use of roads to some extent. In addition, because the trash can does not have the ability to deal with garbage, it will also produce peculiar smell to a certain extent, thus causing certain pollution to the air. Therefore, setting garbage bins reasonably and effectively is an effective way to protect the urban environment.

The reasonable placement of garbage bins is helpful to realize the effective and reasonable reuse of garbage, and the reasonable arrangement of various garbage recycling bins can also continuously improve the public's awareness of garbage classification.
