Other (dry garbage)：

其它（干垃圾）：

Other garbage (Shanghai dry garbage) includes bricks, ceramics, muck, toilet paper, paper towels and other difficult-to-recycle wastes such as bricks, dust, and food bags (boxes).

其他垃圾（上海称干垃圾）包括除上述几类垃圾之外的砖瓦陶瓷、渣土、卫生间废纸、纸巾等难以回收的废弃物及果壳、尘土、食品袋（盒）。

The big bones are listed as "other garbage" because of "difficult corrosion." Corn kernels, nut shells, fruit cores, chicken bones, etc. are kitchen waste.

大棒骨因为“难腐蚀”被列入“其它垃圾”。玉米核、坚果壳、果核、鸡骨等则是餐厨垃圾。 

Toilet paper: toilet paper, toilet paper dissolves in water, not countable as "paper", similar to cigarette cases.

卫生纸：厕纸、卫生纸遇水即溶，不算可回收的“纸张”，类似的还有烟盒等。

Kitchen garbage bagging: Commonly used plastic bags, even if they can be degraded, are far more difficult to corrode than kitchen waste. In addition, the plastic bag itself is recyclable. The correct approach should be to dump the kitchen waste into the trash can, and throw the plastic bag into the “recyclable garbage” bucket.

餐厨垃圾装袋：常用的塑料袋，即使是可以降解的也远比餐厨垃圾更难腐蚀。此外塑料袋本身是可回收垃圾。正确做法应该是将餐厨垃圾倒入垃圾桶，塑料袋另扔进“可回收垃圾”桶。

Nutshell: In the garbage classification, the logo of the “shell and melon skin” is the peanut shell, which is indeed the kitchen waste. The remaining waste cooking oil used in the home is also classified as “kitchen garbage”.

果壳：在垃圾分类中，“果壳瓜皮”的标识就是花生壳，的确属于厨余垃圾。家里用剩的废弃食用油，也归类在“厨房垃圾”。

Dust: In the garbage classification, the dust belongs to “other garbage”, but the fallen leaves belong to “kitchen garbage”, including flowers that are defeated at home.

尘土：在垃圾分类中，尘土属于“其它垃圾”，但残枝落叶属于“厨房垃圾”，包括家里开败的鲜花等。

Kitchen waste (wet garbage)：
厨余（湿垃圾）：

Kitchen waste (Shanghai Wet Garbage) includes food waste such as leftovers, bones, vegetable roots, and peels.

厨余垃圾（上海称湿垃圾）包括剩菜剩饭、骨头、菜根菜叶、果皮等食品类废物。
