1972年6月，德国通过了第一个废物处理法案，旨在减少工业和居民用户的废物量和提高废物回收率。随后，该法案又有不同程度的修改，到1996年，法案更加注重保护自然资源、避免浪费和减少有害物质。
Westend社区是德国法兰克福市的一个社区，在这里“环境警察”偶尔会登门造访，抽查居民是否把垃圾放到指定的桶里。如果分拣垃圾不当，把垃圾归错了类，放错了桶，他们会及时指出，严重的还会被罚款。垃圾公司将回收来的垃圾分别存入收集库，收集库编了号码，1号库是玻璃瓶子、2号是纸和纸板、12号是电视或电脑显示屏、35号是灯泡、电池、药品或化学物品等危险物。电脑废料、塑料垃圾则事先由人工分拣好了，再按类别放置。分拣后的垃圾被送到各个加工厂，如含铝的材料送到铝厂，镀锡铁皮或马口铁送到铁厂等，无法再利用的垃圾，就要送到焚烧厂焚烧发电。科隆焚化厂利用垃圾发电可解决该市6万家即全市15%人口的用电，焚烧后的余灰则全部用于铺路等工程。
这里还拥有一套“绿点”系统，以独特的收费结构形成了对制造商减少产品包装数量以及使用环保包装产品的激励，这套体系目前在欧洲22个国家通行。
Garbage Classification – The Green
Principle of Westend Community
Reported by Zhao Jianshu Translated by Zhu Luqi
In June 1972， Germany passed the first Waste Disposal Act， aiming to reduce the waste produced by local industry and residents and increase waste recovery rate. After that， the Act has gone through several changes from time to time. In 1996， the Act paid more attention to protecting natural resources， avoiding wasting， and reducing harmful substance.
Westend Community is in Frankfort， Germany. In this special community， “environment police” will make home visits occasionally for inspecting whether garbage has been classified according to the guidance. They will point out the mistakes if the garbage has not been properly classified， and fine the property owners when necessary. Garbage disposal companies will collect the garbage and put them in different warehouses. The warehouses are numbered accordingly. No.1 warehouse is for glass bottles； No.2 is for paper and paperboard； No. 12 is for television or computer screen； No. 35 is for bulbs， batteries， medicines， and other chemical materials that can be dangerous. Computer wastes and plastic wastes will be classified by hand and stored separately. Those wastes then will be sent to fabricating plants respectively. For instance， wastes containing aluminum will be sent to aluminum manufacturer， and tinplate will be sent to ironworks. The wastes that cannot be reused will be sent to a garbage burning plant for generating electricity. The electricity generated in the garbage burning plant of Cologne can supply 15% of the citizen’s electricity consumption， which covers more than 60，000 households. The ashes produced by burning can be used for road paving.
There is also a system of “green point”， which uses its particular charging scheme to encourage manufactures to reduce the number of packs and use the packs that made of environmental-friendly materials. This system now functions in 22 countries of Europe.
