Shangcheng District, Hangzhou: Establishing "Code-based Inspection" System for Waste Sorting Supervision to Enhance Effectiveness

Original article: https://cli.im/article/detail/2163

To strengthen residential waste sorting management, Sanwei Community in Jiubao Subdistrict of Shangcheng District, Hangzhou has integrated QR code technology with community environmental supervision. Through WeChat scanning functionality, the "Code-based Inspection" initiative implements three key supervision tasks: waste sorting inspections, hallway sanitation checks, and tracking of waste sorting guidance records from grid instructors, effectively improving community environment management.

Real-time Reporting via QR Codes

The community coordinates multiple teams including grid supervisors, resident volunteers, waste sorting specialists, and property management personnel to establish a long-term waste sorting governance mechanism. When discovering improper waste sorting practices during patrols, volunteers and supervisors can immediately scan the QR code at waste collection points to upload photos, text descriptions, and GPS location data, enabling instant issue reporting and feedback.

Cloud-based Issue Resolution

Reported issues are automatically routed to designated responsible parties through the cloud system. After implementing corrections, real-time photos must be uploaded to complete the closed-loop management process. Bulk waste reported in residential hallways triggers centralized clean-up operations through cloud coordination, demonstrating practical implementation of community environment improvement. Community leaders utilize cloud-transmitted data to conduct follow-up inspections and on-site guidance for neighborhoods with frequent issues, ensuring sustainable waste sorting management.

Digital Recordkeeping with Traceability

The QR code system enables comprehensive inspection documentation that combines human supervision with technological monitoring. A complete workflow is established involving issue discovery, responsible parties, and verification of corrections, achieving refined management of waste sorting and hallway maintenance. The system automatically generates inspection reports and supervision records, allowing instant access to work documentation through QR code scanning. This facilitates analysis of key challenges and enables targeted guidance for complex issues.

Moving forward, Shangcheng District Urban Management Bureau will collaborate with local subdistricts to establish standardized, intelligent, and refined community inspection systems. Through smart technological solutions, the initiative aims to optimize residential waste sorting efficiency and continuously improve living environments.
