by the cleaning staff: recyclable waste, landfill waste, and harmful waste, which are
then transported to their respective destinations. Recyclables are sold to market
recycling companies; where there is no commercial interest due to high recycling
costs; items are sent to the government’s recycling center. Hazardous waste is sent to
a detoxification processing company, and landfill waste is sent to a landfill disposal
site. Consequently, waste that can be recycled is collected as much as possible
through the waste separation and collection process, and the amount of garbage
going to landfill can be reduced.
18.3.2.2 The Role of Government
The role of the Pujiang model is to provide the private sector with a plan to establish
and improve the system as a policy for waste disposal in the public works sector, to
deal with the proposed public-private partnership, and to pay the full operating
expenses to the private sector, which is contracted for waste disposal to be
implemented as a PPP project. The government plans to raise the waste separation
compliance rate through cooperation between Communist Party members (hereinafter party members) and residents of Pujiang County under the waste separation
management responsibility system (a system with Chinese characteristics). The
government further increases the waste separation compliance rate through waste
separation guidance, public relations, and education. The government aims to
improve reliability and transparency through disclosure of information (via Pujiang
Prefecture Statistical Yearbook) on the above process.
18.3.2.3 The Role of Companies
As a public service to the government, the company separates, collects, and disposes
of household waste discharged by residents of Pujiang County. Private companies
recycle the waste generated by residents and transport it to final disposal sites.
Planning and proposing a waste treatment system suitable for Pujiang County,
developing related technologies, and applying a business model are suitable for
management by private companies.
Using the experience and data gained through trial and error in design of the
waste disposal service, the government will propose new policies on waste disposal
and the use of related technologies. The company reports data on waste disposal
management and discloses information (through its homepage) to build trust
between the government and residents.
