Guangzhou links credit to sorting of garbage

Classify trash for recycling, or else: That's the message Guangzhou, Guangdong province, is sending to property management companies.

The city's urban patrol committee, or chengguan, is cooperating with the housing and urban-rural construction department to create a pilot system that links garbage classification to credit records.

"It aims to further promote garbage classification in the metropolis in the months ahead," said Peng Ziliang, who is in charge of garbage classification for the chengguan.
