(Yicai Global) July 1 --  Shanghai has today started implementing a new stricter waste management  regulation which fines people who do not sort their household trash for  recycling. 

The four  categories of waste are dry garbage, kitchen waste, recyclables and  hazardous waste. Individuals who fail to sort their trash will be fined  up to CNY200 (USD30). Companies who fail to do so may have to pay up to  CNY50,000 (USD7,300).

Law enforcement officers and volunteers help residents to adapt to the new system.
