Since the beginning of this century, people have been encouraged to sort household garbage voluntarily（自愿地）. Although more and more people have realized the importance of sorting garbage, the result was not so good. We have never stopped improving our waste-sorting work, so the new rule comes out. According to the rule, anyone who fails to sort garbage properly may be fined up to 200 yuan, while companies may be fined up to 50,000 yuan.

Dangerous garbage: This type of garbage includes medicine, batteries paint containers. Bulbs（灯泡）and so on. If you throw them away, they may pollute the soil and water.

Dry garbage: Any garbage that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful belongs to dry garbage.
