Description of Our Community: In the past, the rural garbage was of small quantity and little categories, and it was easy to be decomposed; methods of composting, simple landfill and natural decomposing can be used to maintain the balance. With the rapid economic and social development in rural areas, the rural garbage surges in quantity, and there are obvious changes in structure, and the rural household garbage “keep up with” the situation in cities, with more and more difficulty for disposal.

Project Description: The rural household garbage at present is not simple landfill and burning of wheat straw and grass ashes. Therefore, both governments and villagers are facing with a serious problem – how to conduct effective disposal to rural garbage. It is expected that corresponding solution can be found out by our investigation. At present, there are a lot of difficulties in garbage disposal in rural areas. With the rapid industrialization process, the trend of rural household garbage urbanization is obvious increasingly, and the garbage disposal method is still single and outdated. This condition has greatly endangered the rural ecological environment, and has had adverse influence to lives of the masses. The “garbage mountain” has become a new problem of rural areas. In the past, the rural garbage was of small quantity and little categories, and it was easy to be decomposed; methods of composting, simple landfill and natural decomposing can be used to maintain the balance. With the rapid economic and social development in rural areas, the rural garbage surges in quantity, and there are obvious changes in structure, and the rural household garbage “keep up with” the situation in cities, with more and more difficulty for disposal.
