"Then don't set up an old clothes drop box!" "Every time I wash my old clothes and put them inside, I think they will always be valuable. Who knows..." Recently, a staff member in guangludao Town, Changhai County, Liaoning province directly loaded the old clothes in the old clothes drop box of a community into the garbage truck. After being photographed by netizens, it aroused widespread doubts. On November 21, guangludao town government responded that because the island clothing donation procedure was complex, costly and difficult, the old clothes in the old clothes drop box were treated as garbage. Next, the town government will publicize and explain the disposal of used clothes, focusing on standardizing waste transfer behavior (according to the Beijing News on November 22). From the comments of some netizens, we can see a general feeling of regret and dissatisfaction. It is a pity that the donor's donation intention and a piece of love were put into the garbage truck together, which is quite a pity. For those who are dissatisfied, since there is no supporting setting to ensure the normal operation of the old clothes drop box, what is the difference between the old clothes drop box and the ordinary dustbin? In addition, some netizens expressed concern: they have seen relevant reports that someone pulled back the old clothes in the old clothes drop box, processed them into new ones and sold them on Taobao, so that they dare not donate any more. It should be recognized that the local town government may be true that the island clothing donation "has complex procedures, high costs and great difficulties", but in any case, it is very unacceptable to set up the old clothing drop box without supporting human and material support and institutional guarantee. So why did the local government do this? This is very intriguing. In recent years, public services such as waste classification and old clothes delivery have been valued by local governments and welcomed by the people. If the conditions are not met, first put an old clothes drop box and make a pot of "cooked rice". Will there be the motivation of "face project" and "political achievement project" behind it? This is really worthy of serious reflection by the relevant local departments, and "Publicizing and explaining the handling of old clothes" is not necessarily a top priority. How can the old clothes drop box in the community no longer become a decoration? In recent years, this seems to have become a universal problem. Therefore, we don't have to keep an eye on a guangkadao town alone. According to a news survey conducted by Xinhua news agency in 2019, the use of old clothes drop boxes in first and second tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Jinan is also not optimistic: the old clothes in the drop boxes need to be screened and classified, and the process itself requires a certain cost; After classification, only 10% of the old clothes that meet the donation conditions often account for, and the qualified rate is very low; In addition, due to the lack of clear norms and effective supervision on the handling of old clothes in the old clothes drop box, there are different practices and quite chaotic management. Some community properties even said that the whereabouts of old clothes belong to "trade secrets" and cannot be announced to the public. Obviously, in the absence of a scientific and clear supporting process, it is difficult to realize the reuse value of these old clothes by setting up the old clothes drop box rashly. On the contrary, it will also provide some people with the opportunity to "pick up waste". More seriously, this is a "love cohesion" project with full public welfare color. In this way, it has lost the trust of residents and chilled everyone's heart. If people lose a minimum sense of trust, the loss will be difficult to measure in material terms. No matter how good a public welfare project is, if it wants to achieve its due positive effect, it needs to be really down-to-earth step by step, so as to "connect the canal first and then divert water". The so-called "canal connection", first, we should formulate scientific and clear operating rules, second, we should clarify the subject of responsibility, and third, we should publicize the way of supervision. I sincerely hope that before the institutional channels and various guarantees for love convergence are in place, the "single public welfare facilities" such as old clothes drop boxes should not be in a hurry to stand up.
