The summer tourism fever continues, and Xiyuehua Mountain, located in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, welcomes tourists from all over the world. Behind the tourism boom, the amount of garbage disposal is also rising. More than 20 tons of garbage every day, how to clean and transport out of the mountain?
The reporter interviewed Duan Jiangbo, the head of the Huashan Yu Management Station of Shaanxi Huashan Mountain Management Service Co., Ltd., to gain an in-depth understanding of the days and nights when he and the sanitation workers guarded Huashan and tourists.
"The clean-up work is done every day, and the sanitation workers take about 20,000 steps a day"
Since returning from changing jobs, Duan Jiangbo has been working in Huashan for 13 years. There are more than 20 sanitation workers in the station, aged between 53 and 57.

Duan Jiangbo said that sanitation workers in Huashan get up early every day, first to pick up road garbage, then to sort the garbage in the garbage bin into garbage bags, to pack it at noon and afternoon, and carry it down the mountain to the transfer accumulation point of transferring garbage with a flat stretcher. In addition, it is necessary to pick up garbage scattered in the ditch or on the side of the road, and where there is a deep ditch, it is necessary to put a rope, and several people can work together to complete it.
"We remove garbage in the afternoon and evening when the traffic is low, and the sanitation workers are not young, and I see in the exercise mini program that their average daily step count is about 20,000. Not only do they pick up garbage, sometimes tourists' mobile phones are dropped, bags are dropped, and they have to help pick it up. ”
"The scenic area can understand the tourists, and I hope that the tourists can understand the scenic spot"
Over the past 13 years, Duan has observed changes in the types of garbage in Huashan.
"Because the variety of food and beverages is constantly increasing and renewing, so is the type and amount of waste. Sometimes, products like self-heating pots, there is very little food inside, but the outer packaging has several layers, and the chemical agents such as heating packs are non-degradable, which brings more trouble to garbage classification and transportation. ”
Because Mount Hua is steep and the climb requires energy supplies, it is inevitable for tourists to carry food. Duan Jiangbo said, "The scenic area can understand the tourists, and I hope that the tourists can understand the management of the scenic spot." Let the amount of food packaging waste be reduced, and the burden of sanitation work will also be reduced. ”
Duan Jiangbo found that tourists' awareness of environmental protection is gradually increasing. "During the summer holidays are mainly student tourists, who rarely litter. However, sometimes in some popular attractions, some tourists will throw away some things in a moment of excitement. The quality of most tourists is relatively high, and the quality of tourists is constantly improving. ”

"Everyone loves Mount Hua, everyone protects Mount Hua"
Although the Huashan Mountain Area has been trying to improve the efficiency of garbage disposal and how to make garbage classification and transportation faster, Duan Jiangbo still hopes that no garbage will be left on the mountain. "Because now the protection of vegetation in Huashan is also very important, mainly for fear of polluting the ancient and famous trees of Huashan Mountain."

The process of cleaning and picking up garbage by Huashan sanitation workers is more difficult, especially in deep ditches, picking up garbage is more dangerous, and bruises and sprained feet often occur.
Duan Jiangbo believes that the management of the Huashan Scenic Area will be more scientific in the future, but he feels that the most attractive part of the scenic area lies in the pristine natural landscape, and if each station builds high-tech facilities to clean up the garbage, it is actually a kind of destruction.
He wants to appeal to everyone to try not to bring food with a large environmental impact when going up the mountain, but to bring some food that is convenient and has less environmental impact. "The best way is for tourists to take away the garbage generated when they go up the mountain, everyone loves Mount Huashan and everyone protects Mount Hua."
