Four waste plants to shut down before Asian Games

GUANGZHOU: Four small garbage incinerators in the city's southern district of Panyu will be shut down before the Asian Games open next November, authorities said yesterday.

The move aims to clean up the skies ahead of the major sporting event that starts on Nov 12.

The four incinerators will continue operations as the Games approach since a new comprehensive scheme of garbage treatment is yet to be issued, a Panyu district government website notice said.
