France has conducted comprehensive and in-depth research on the feasibility of garbage classification and collection since the mid-1980s, and has begun to classify and collect toxic and hazardous waste as well as coarse waste. Since the 1990s, various cities in France have implemented garbage classification and collection to varying degrees. Many cities have set up different types of containers for the classification and collection of useful substances and toxic waste in different locations and places to meet the needs of urban garbage classification and transportation.
In France, cities that implement strict classification and collection of garbage generally have renovated and configured their garbage collection containers and transportation equipment facilities. In order to meet the needs of garbage classification and collection, these cities usually install various types of garbage collection containers and build residential community garbage classification and collection stations. In this type of garbage collection station, there are waste glass bottle collection boxes, can collection boxes, plastic waste collection boxes, waste paper and cardboard collection boxes, as well as recycling oil tanks for recycling waste engine oil and collection tanks for recycling toxic and harmful substances such as waste batteries and waste fluorescent tubes.
