DEFINITION

Noun

A structure used for the temporary storage and collection of refuse. Also known in Mandarin as “垃圾收集站”.

由来
  • 新加坡的组屋区里都有垃圾房，以集中区内每家每户所丢弃的垃圾。
  • 新加坡组屋区中的垃圾被集中后，会由国家环境局（National Environment Agency）的有关人员收集并作进一步处理。垃圾被输送到转运站后，便会经过压缩处理送往焚化场焚化，焚化后的灰烬将被送往垃圾掩埋场填埋。
  • 除了组屋区，垃圾房也设在一些小贩中心、巴刹、商贸区，以及工业区里。
  • 1989 年之前建造的组屋采用了个人垃圾收集系统（Individual Refuse Collection System），垃圾从住户到垃圾房的运送过程是靠清洁工人人工搬运。到了 2014 年，建屋发展局（Housing Development Board）在裕华（Yuhua）的选定组屋区对气动垃圾收集系统（Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System （PWCS））进行试点，通过地下管道直接从住屋将垃圾输往垃圾房。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB) estates are all furnished with bin centres where refuse discarded by every household is collected.
  • After all refuse in a HDB estate is gathered, it is then collected and further processed by personnel from the National Environment Agency (NEA). After the refuse is moved to the transfer station, it undergoes a compression process before being sent to an incinerator to be incinerated. After incineration, its ashes are then sent to landfills to be buried.
  • Besides HDB estates, bin centres are also located at some hawker centres, wet markets, commercial districts and industrial areas.
  • HDB flats built before 1989 adopted the Individual Refuse Collection System, in which the transport of refuse from households to bin centres was manually carried out by cleaners. In 2014, HDB conducted a trial run of the Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS) in selected HDB estates in Yuhua. Under this system, trash was conveyed directly from households to bin centres through underground pipes.
