Recently, garbage disposal related policies have been issued one after another. On May 6, the national development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of housing and urban rural development jointly issued a notice on printing and distributing the development plan for urban domestic waste classification and treatment facilities during the "14th five year plan" to comprehensively promote the construction of urban domestic waste classification and treatment facilities during the "14th five year plan". Subsequently, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development and other departments issued two ****s to ensure the construction of waste treatment facilities and rationalize the charging mechanism.
The coverage level of domestic waste classification and treatment facilities will be improved during the "14th five year plan"
The "14th five year plan" for the development of urban domestic waste classification and treatment facilities clearly stipulates that the goal and task is to further improve the classification and treatment capacity of domestic waste in 46 * * cities, including municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capitals and cities specifically designated in the plan, by the end of 2025; Prefecture level cities have basically built domestic waste classification and treatment systems according to local conditions; The domestic waste classification and treatment system has been basically completed in Beijing Tianjin Hebei and its surrounding counties, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Great Bay area, the Yangtze River economic belt, the Yellow River Basin, and the ecological civilization pilot area; Encourage other regions to actively improve the coverage of waste classification and treatment facilities. Support the establishment of towns to accelerate the completion of domestic waste collection, transfer and harmless treatment facilities.
"Many of the contents are in line with the requirements in the implementation plan for improving the strengths and weaknesses of urban domestic waste classification and treatment facilities issued by the national development and Reform Commission last August." Zhang Yi, chairman of China strategic emerging industry environmental protection alliance and member of the science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, believes that if we accelerate the improvement of the domestic waste classification collection and transportation system, * * promote the construction of domestic waste incineration facilities, Reasonably plan and build domestic waste landfills, and promote the construction of kitchen waste treatment facilities according to local conditions.
The reporter learned that at present, there are large regional differences in waste classification work, and it has been done well in 46 * * cities. According to the information from the national development and Reform Commission, during the 13th Five Year Plan period, the domestic waste classification in China has been gradually promoted from point to area, and the domestic waste classification collection, transportation and disposal system has been further improved. By the end of last year, the coverage of domestic waste sorting communities in the first 46 * * cities to carry out pilot projects had reached 86.6%, and the average recycling rate of domestic waste was 30.4%. The treatment capacity of kitchen waste had increased from 34700 tons per day in 2019 to 62800 tons per day at present, showing preliminary results.
However, the domestic waste classification work in China is still in its infancy, and there are still some difficulties and problems in implementing the main responsibility of the city, promoting the formation of people's habits, and accelerating the construction of classification facilities.
The "14th five year plan" is a critical period for the construction of domestic waste classification and treatment facilities. The implementation of the plan puts forward higher requirements for the classification and treatment of domestic waste in China. High quality development, optimization of waste treatment structure, and improvement of resource utilization facilities will become the future work of domestic waste treatment * *.
The construction of urban waste treatment facilities was supported by * * budget, and the treatment fee was transferred to the tax department for collection
On May 9, the national development and Reform Commission issued a notice on the special measures for the management of budgetary investment in pollution control and energy conservation and carbon reduction (hereinafter referred to as the measures), to strengthen and standardize the management of budgetary investment in pollution control and energy conservation and carbon reduction, improve the efficiency of the use of * * funds, and mobilize the enthusiasm of social capital to participate in pollution control and energy conservation and carbon reduction. Among them, the construction of environmental infrastructure such as sewage and garbage treatment has become one of the directions supported by * *.
The Measures specify that sewage treatment, sewage resource utilization projects, urban domestic waste classification and treatment projects shall be controlled by 30%, 45%, 60% and 60% of the total investment in the East, central, West and northeast regions respectively, and the amount of support for a single project shall not exceed 50million yuan in principle, except for major innovation demonstration projects. Urban * * waste and hazardous waste centralized disposal facility projects shall be controlled by 15%, 20%, 25% and 25% of the total investment in the eastern, central, Western and northeastern regions respectively.
Three days after it is clear that * * funds * * can be obtained for urban waste treatment, the urban waste treatment fee will be reformed and the fee will be guaranteed. On May 12, the State Administration of Taxation, the Ministry of finance, the Ministry of natural resources, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, and the people's Bank of China jointly issued the announcement on the collection and management of the transfer of urban waste disposal fees from idle land fees (hereinafter referred to as the announcement). From July 1, 2021, the urban waste disposal fees collected by the housing and urban rural development departments and other departments under the management of administrative fees will be transferred to the tax department for collection.
The announcement is a clear reform after the issue of waste treatment fees was mentioned in the opinions of the national development and Reform Commission on innovating and improving the price mechanism for promoting green development (fgjg [2018] No. 943) in 2018 and several subsequent related ****s, which means that the "polluter pays" mechanism has been promoted in solid waste management.
The nature of waste treatment fees has been clarified, and the "urban waste treatment fees managed according to administrative fees" has been clearly defined in the announcement. It is understood that domestic waste treatment fees in some cities in China are still collected and managed in accordance with business service fees. The publication of the announcement means that in the future, although different collection means, methods and standards may be selected according to local conditions, the nature of fees will be gradually unified as administrative fees.
In addition, after the tax collection and management responsibility is transferred to the tax department, the "timely collection through tax related channels" will also significantly improve the standardization of local waste charges, while ensuring the collection rate, especially for the collection of non resident waste treatment fees.
