Trash results in more sanitation staffing

SHANGHAI - With the visitors, comes the garbage.

The large number of visitors to Expo 2010 Shanghai are bringing traffic pressure, long lines at many pavilions, and also more waste.

An average of 160,000 visitors a day during the first five days of the Expo's operation created nearly 200 tons of waste each day, Zhang Quan, director of the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau, said on Wednesday.
