Item from July 7, 1982, in China Daily: Beijing produces more than 4,500 metric tons of garbage a day - enough to make a mound of 6,200 cubic meters.
Officials say there are not enough landfills for all the trash generated by the capital's citizens.
Despite various initiatives, waste treatment remains a major issue for many cities.
