Living in Singapore to take out the garbage without going downstairs, some netizens feel that it is convenient, and it should be promoted in China, but some netizens said: "It was 40 years ago, and it has long been eliminated!" "Why are garbage lanes being eliminated?
Modern people's garbage production is particularly large, whether it is to dismantle the express, order takeout or visit the shopping mall, there is always a lot of garbage, in many cases, the disposal of these garbage has become the most annoying thing for people.
Have you ever thought that the garbage generated every day can disappear directly through a mysterious channel? It sounds like magic, but it did exist, and that's one of the architectural designs that was once very popular in China, and it's called garbage passages.
For many, the garbage passage is a "shadow of childhood".
Many people come home from school when they are young, and when they just walk to the entrance of the corridor, an indescribable smell comes to their faces, mixed with the sourness of rotten food and unknown liquids, which makes you lose your appetite instantly, which is the "masterpiece" of the garbage passage.
If the garbage passage is so "scary", why build it? This has to start from the eighties and nineties of the last century, when high-rise housing rose, how to deal with garbage conveniently and quickly became a problem that needs to be solved urgently.
As a result, the garbage tunnel came into being, which is like a built-in "garbage highway", connecting every floor, and residents can throw garbage without leaving their homes, which can be described as the perfect combination of technology and convenience.
It sounds beautiful, but the reality is skinny. With the use of garbage passages, its drawbacks are gradually exposed, like time bombs, which are difficult to prevent.
The most unbearable thing is the lingering stench in the garbage passage, where all kinds of kitchen waste, expired food, and even pet feces are mixed together and fermented in a confined space.
What's even more terrifying is that the smell spreads down the pipes, infiltrating every floor, filling the entire corridor with a disgusting smell.
And the garbage passage is a haven for rats and cockroaches, with plenty of food and seclusion, making it a five-star hotel for them.
These "uninvited guests" settle down in the garbage passage, multiply and then "grow and develop", rush out of the garbage passage, occupy the entire corridor, and even enter the residents' homes, which makes people's scalp tingle to think about.
Even more worrying is the safety hazard, because the garbage passage is a vertical structure, once a fire occurs, it will form a terrible "chimney effect", and the fire will spread rapidly, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, China began to phase out garbage corridors, and today only a very small number of old communities are still in use. However, in Southeast Asia, Singapore, a developed country, still retains a large number of garbage channels.
Aren't Singaporeans afraid of smell, dirt, or danger? In fact, most of the buildings in Singapore that use garbage passages were built in the sixties and seventies of the last century, when people's understanding of garbage disposal was still relatively limited.
However, these old houses are now subject to factors such as the age of property rights and the cost of reconstruction, so they cannot be demolished and rebuilt, and can only continue to use garbage passages, which makes the residents living in them miserable.
Therefore, the garbage channel is not a lofty invention, it is like a product of an era, which once brought convenience to people, but now it has become a "chicken rib".
With the development of the times, people's requirements for environmental sanitation and quality of life are getting higher and higher, the concepts of garbage classification and resource recycling are gradually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the progress of science and technology also provides more possibilities for garbage disposal.
It is believed that in the near future, more environmentally friendly and efficient garbage disposal methods will emerge, completely ending the era of garbage channels.
