In this round of epidemic prevention and control in Zhengzhou, Henan, there is such a group of workers who stick to their posts, building an orange defense line for the city. Wang Chao, captain of the mechanized clearance team of the Urban Management Bureau of Jinshui District, Zhengzhou, Henan, is one of them.
In the special period of epidemic prevention and control, in order to truly achieve the effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control and the harmlessness of garbage disposal, the Jinshui District Urban Management Bureau implements "door-to-door collection and closed direct transportation" for domestic garbage in the sealed control community and the isolated hotel area according to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, and forms a closed loop of collection and transportation through the direct transportation line. Wang Chao and his team members went deep into the streets, alleys, and residential areas to collect and transport garbage, and carried out harmless disposal of domestic garbage in a timely and safe manner.

"When I work, I often don't feel cold." Wang Chao said while rubbing his hands that in Zhengzhou in January, the temperature is getting colder and colder every day, although his hands are frozen red and swollen every day, often working more than 15 hours a day, Wang Chao still sticks to his post, without complaint or regret.
Every day, Wang Chao leads all the drivers of the mechanized clearance team to carry out the elimination and removal operation of the 23 garbage transfer stations in the jurisdiction from about 8 p.m. to about 4 a.m., and then begins to clean up the domestic garbage in the sealed control community and the isolated hotel at about 9 a.m.
In order to safely dispose of these "special garbage", Wang Chao set up an "emergency commando team" for garbage at the first time, deployed special personnel, special vehicles, and equipped with complete epidemic prevention and protection materials. Wang Chao, on the other hand, took the lead in commanding and guiding the sanitation transfer stations and sealing and control communities in the jurisdiction to carry out garbage collection and removal operations every day, and established a harmless garbage treatment system on the basis of the special line, which was directly transported to the garbage incineration site for special disposal to prevent secondary pollution. In view of the sharp increase in the amount of garbage, he adjusted the vehicles in time and increased the frequency of cleaning and transportation to ensure that the garbage Nissan Nissin, with an average of more than 1,000 tons of domestic garbage at the transfer station was cleared and transported every day, and more than 50 tons of domestic garbage in the sealing and control community and the isolation hotel were isolated.

"During the epidemic, garbage heaps are actively prone to pathogenic organisms breeding bacteria, and daily garbage must be cleaned up. Especially in the sealed control community, we must pay more attention to safety. As a "veteran" who has worked on the sanitation front for nearly 20 years, Wang Chao knows that the safe disposal of domestic garbage is one of the important links in the fight against the epidemic.
At nightfall, Wang Chao, who had been busy for a day, had recently been staying in the hotel arranged by the unit, afraid that if there was a virus transmitted to his family. "It's also self-isolation." Wang Chao said that his biggest wish now is that the epidemic can end as soon as possible, and he can go back to have a good gathering with his family and have a good New Year.
