You hear a conversation about recycling and garbage collection services. First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 00:00:28,920 Listen and answer questions one to five. 00:00:31,600 Hello. I recently moved into a new house in Avondale, and I'm trying to get a handle on the garbage collection and recycling services. Could you help me with that? 00:00:42,440 Certainly. 00:00:44,490 We've recently adjusted our schedule to better meet community needs. While our collection in Avondale used to be on Thursdays, we've shifted to Tuesdays due to popular demand. We recommend setting out your garbage at the designated collection sites the night before to ensure timely pickup. 00:01:02,100 That's helpful. Thanks. What time should I expect the collection truck on that date? 00:01:07,780 Our trucks are scheduled to arrive and begin collection at 8:15 AM. This timing helps avoid the rush hour, usually between 6:30 AM and 7:30 AM, and ensures that the roads are less congested. 00:01:21,140 That sounds well-planned. I have an old TV that I need to dispose of. Do you recycle electronics? 00:01:29,740 Currently, we do not have the facilities to safely recycle electronic appliances like TVs. These items require special handling due to their components and materials. 00:01:41,830 I recommend checking with local electronic stores or municipal waste facilities. They often offer electronics recycling programs. 00:01:51,040 Okay, I understand. Do you offer door-to-door garbage collection services? 00:01:57,480 Unfortunately, due to our current staffing challenges, we cannot provide door-to-door service. However, all major garbage collection sites are clearly marked on the map available on our website. This should help you locate the nearest disposal point conveniently. 00:02:14,720 Got it. 00:02:16,220 Are there specific preparations we should make with our recycling to assist in the process? 00:02:22,880 Yes, actually. We highly recommend using the special waste sorting bags that are available for purchase at local grocery stores. These bags are designed to keep different types of recyclable materials separated, which greatly facilitate the recycling process at our facilities. 00:02:40,760 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 00:03:06,720 Listen and answer questions six to ten. 00:03:09,489 That's a great initiative. What more can families do to improve the recycling process at home? 00:03:16,560 One of the most effective things families can do is to start by properly sorting their rubbish into categories such as plastics, metals, paper, and organics. 00:03:27,040 This not only helps in reducing the contamination of recyclables but also improves the efficiency of the recycling process. 00:03:34,960 That makes sense. For recyclables like cans, bottles, and glass, are there specific preparations we should follow? 00:03:44,340 Absolutely. Please ensure to remove any labels and rinse the bottles and cans before placing them in the recycling bin. This reduces contamination and the cost of recycling, and it ensures that more materials can be successfully reclaimed and reused. 00:04:01,260 Should I empty juice bottles that still contain liquids? 00:04:04,920 Yes. Please empty any containers of their contents before disposal. Liquids can damage the recyclable materials and may complicate the recycling process. 00:04:15,880 Ensuring containers are empty also helps in reducing the weight of the recyclables, which lowers transportation costs. 00:04:24,090 And how should I handle paper products like pizza boxes? 00:04:28,080 Paper products can often be recycled, but please make sure they are free from food residue. Food contamination can render paper products non-recyclable, as it often leads to mold, which complicates the pulping process. Additionally, regarding egg cartons and similar items, please separate them from other paper recyclables because they are made from different materials that need to be processed separately. 00:04:53,710 That's very informative. Thank you for all your guidance. I'll definitely follow these instructions to help make the recycling process more effective. 00:05:04,220 You're very welcome. 00:05:05,640 That's the end of part one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1.
