Ningbo releases district-level "waste free index"

On June 25, Ningbo Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau released the province's first district and county-level "waste free index".

It is estimated that the top three "waste free" districts or counties in the first quarter of 2023 are Beilun District (78.74 points), Fenghua District (77.30 points) and Jiangbei District (76.75 points).
