Garbage Disposal in China Described by Consul
Consul Ragsdale from Tien-Tsin describes a private enterprise run waste system with house-to-house collections. Tin cans are valued and repurposed into candlesticks or bathtubs for foreigners. Broken glass is recycled into lamps and snuff bottles. Waste waters are dumped into street pools and used for sprinkling. Refuse is sorted and dried into fertilizer cakes. The Legation Street bridge is the convenient foreign-facing observation point. The system is pervasive, with no filtering and a crowded street environment.
