It is illegal to share large designated bags across the floor

They were worried that following the measures were implemented, people would also flush household waste into the toilet, causing congestion.

Regarding the problem of trash cans in building stairwells, Liang Xi said that he would communicate with the bureau to understand the feasibility of allowing the relevant practice. He emphasized that according to current requirements, every household must use designated garbage bags when discarding household waste, so as to achieve the goal of reducing waste at source and polluting at the expense of the polluter.
