They walked the streets and alleys, facing the pungent smell, pushing buckets, hanging buckets, dumping, transporting garbage, and "zero distance" from garbage...... They are household waste collectors. On December 14 and 15, there was widespread snowfall in Jinan, and the entire city was covered in snow. However, behind the beautiful snow scene, there is a group of people who are silently sticking to ensure that the city's garbage is cleared every day.
干了11年的环卫工冯登乾：
Ensure that the garbage in the community is cleared every day, "365 days a day"
At more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, the snow was falling, and Feng Dengqian, a sanitation worker, was braving the severe cold to pull out the garbage cans from the open community of Longitude 6 Wei 41. The reporter learned that Feng Dengqian, 60 years old this year, has been engaged in sanitation work in Jinan for 11 years in his hometown of Surabaya, Jining. He and his wife are responsible for the environmental sanitation of Xiaowei 3rd to 5th Road, and at the same time work part-time to transport garbage cans in the community.
For the treatment of domestic garbage in Jinan, as a garbage collector and transporter in the community, Feng Dengqian, who is responsible for cleaning and transportation, is the first pass. At present, there are two main ways to collect and transport domestic garbage in the city: one is that there are barge trucks in the community, which pull away the garbage cans at each point and replace them with new barrels, and are pulled by the barge trucks to the nearby garbage transfer station, where the garbage collection trucks wait;
Due to the fact that most of the areas under their responsibility are open communities, garbage transport vehicles cannot enter. Therefore, at around 1 p.m. every day, Feng Dengqian needs to pull more than a dozen garbage cans to the designated place to help pour them into the garbage removal truck. This kind of work may seem simple, but it requires a lot of sweat and effort.
When asked if he needed to work normally on a snowy day, Feng Dengqian said: "It's raining and snowing, and you have to do it every day for 365 days!"
The reporter learned that in his hometown of Surabaya, Jining, he has a family of 6 people, and his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter are in other places. "I am usually busy with work and have no time to go home, so my children come back from vacation. I call every week to ask how my life is going, how my work is. "My wife and I are fine in Jinan, and our children can worry less. After saying that, he walked into the wind and snow again and started a new round of work.
压缩车司机曹峰、刘守爱夫妇：
More than 100 barrels of garbage were removed for 3 consecutive hours
The garbage removal workers who came to receive and remove the garbage in Feng Dengqian's area - 43-year-old driver Cao Feng and 46-year-old press worker Liu Shouai are a husband and wife. I saw them shuttling between the trash cans, Cao Feng was mainly responsible for driving, and Liu Shouai operated the lever, pushed the bucket, and hung the bucket.
At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, there was heavy snow in the air, and they carried out the garbage removal work in an orderly manner. Liu Shouai pushed the bucket, hung the bucket, manipulated the lifting lever, and turned the garbage can into the compartment...... The whole set of movements is skillful and coherent, and after the empty bucket falls, the two of them hold each other's hands and push the bucket aside. More than 10 barrels of garbage brought by Feng Dengqian were collected and transported, and it took about 20 minutes. "Our push buckets have to be stuck in place at one time, and the garbage has to go into the car at one time...... Much more work, practice makes perfect. "At around 4 p.m., they removed more than 100 barrels of garbage.
Cao Feng and Liu Shouai work 11 hours a day, and they need to remove garbage at different times. The daily working hours are 3:30-10:00, 13:00-16:00, and 19:00-20:30. Despite their hard work, they never complained, having to remove four or five truckloads of garbage a day and collect and transport four to five hundred barrels of garbage a day.
Liu Shouai has been engaged in sanitation work for 16 years and garbage removal and transportation for 7 years. She said: "At first, I was really uncomfortable, the sour smell of garbage was pungent, and I felt like I wanted to vomit. Although there is a garbage truck to take out the garbage every day, it also takes a lot of effort to hang a 100-pound garbage can on the garbage truck. Now that I'm done, my hands will be tight, the activity may be better, and my partner will give me a hand. ”
At the scene, there were food residues and dirty water on the surface of the garbage can, emitting a sour smell. The reporter tried to carry a bucket of garbage, first stepped on the horizontal bar at the bottom of the garbage can, tilted the garbage can, and then pushed it to the compression car, which was very difficult to push. The edges of some garbage cans are also covered with food bamboo skewers, and you should also pay attention not to scratch your skin when carrying them. Liu Shouai said with a smile that novices are like this at the beginning.
Cao Feng has also been engaged in garbage removal and transportation for more than ten years, and has witnessed the changes of garbage removal vehicles in Jinan. "It used to be a car that we bought at home, but now we have this kind of compression car, which is much more convenient. ”
In this cold wave and snowstorm, there are 4 compression trucks in the jurisdiction of Gongshiqiao Street, which Cao Feng and Liu Shouai are responsible for, responsible for the garbage disposal of residential areas belonging to 8 community neighborhood committees.
Yin Yanfu, the driver of the car team, and his colleagues:
Every day, from the garbage transfer station to the garbage factory, more than 30 tons of garbage are removed and transported per person
Most of the domestic waste generated in Jinan in a day is sent to the transfer station first, and then further processed. Starting at 3 o'clock in the morning, Cao Feng, Liu Shouai and other sanitation workers drove compression trucks to the Huangshangling garbage transfer station. They were picked up by Yin Yanfu, a driver of the city's central district sanitation bus team, and his colleagues.
They are responsible for transporting the garbage from the garbage transfer station to the Changqing Mashan Waste Plant. At 4 o'clock in the morning of the 14th, under the cold wave and the north wind, they stuck to their posts and went to the Huangshangling garbage transfer station on time for transfer. After Master Yin Yanfu and his colleagues drove the sanitation special operation vehicle to the transfer station, they reversed to the designated position, stretched out the hydraulic hook arm to lift the garbage bin, closed the lock, and drove the vehicle out of the station. "On average, a large bin can hold four compactor garbage, about 12 tons. Luo Peng, captain of the city's central district environmental sanitation car team, told reporters.
The reporter followed the special sanitation operation vehicles that drove out of the Huangshangling garbage transfer station, and arrived at the Changqing Mashan Garbage Plant after a 65-kilometer and about one-and-a-half-hour drive. The vehicle needs to be "weighed" before entering the unloading platform. After weighing, arrive at the unloading platform on the second floor, reverse the car to the unloading port, open the back cover of the large box, and start dumping domestic garbage.
In Changqing Mashan Garbage Factory, it is a garbage disposal site and one of the terminals of the entire city's garbage, where garbage collected from all corners of the city is transported. Waste will be treated in an environmentally friendly manner to achieve harmlessness, reduction and resource utilization.
Yin Yanfu, who is over 50 years old this year, has 289 years of experience in garbage removal and transportation. He and team leader Luo Peng told reporters that their team is mainly responsible for the garbage removal and transportation of four transfer stations in the central district of the city. They calculated for the reporter: one driver clears three truckloads of garbage a day, 123 tons per trip, and a fleet transports 800 to 900 tons of garbage every day.
The relevant responsible comrades of the Domestic Waste Management Department of Jinan City Administration told reporters: "At present, Jinan has more than 8,000 tons of domestic garbage removed by the sanitation department every day, and more than 17,000 classified collection points have been set up in the city. "In Jinan, there are more than 100 garbage transfer stations, and five waste-to-energy plants have been built, including Sungeng, Changqing Mashan, Zhangqiu Gaoguanzhai, Laiwu Niuquan, and Shanghe Sunji, forming a distribution pattern of "southeast, northwest, and central". In addition, Jinan also has a special team to remove kitchen waste every day.
In the cold wave, rain and snowy weather, it is the sanitation workers like Feng Dengqian, Cao Feng, Liu Shouai, and Yin Yanfu who stick to the front line and fight day and night to ensure that Quancheng's domestic garbage is cleared every day.
