In order to make money, some mobile vendors have picked up plastic cups from garbage dumps, washed them and refilled beverages for sale. Yesterday, Ningbo Beilun city management team members saw this "secret."
In the Beilun Dagang Industrial Zone, a mobile vendor sells self-serving cold drinks such as iced mung bean soup on the roadside, and some workers who come home from work buy it. After the workers finished drinking, they put plastic cups and straws into the trash. Not long after, the mobile vendor ordered her daughter to take out the plastic cups and straws from the trash can, tear off the sealing film, and after a short period of finishing, he put them into bamboo baskets.

The urban management team members who inspected nearby discovered the mobile stall and immediately stepped forward to dissuade him and asked him to stop the unlicensed set-up. At that time, the daughter of the mobile vendor was sorting out the plastic cup under the shadow of the roadside. She saw the law enforcement personnel passing by. She looked flustered and quickly used her body to block the plastic cups that had already been trimmed. The law enforcement team member who found the abnormality rushed forward to ask. Under patient persuasion, the little girl finally said the truth.
According to the mobile vendor's father and daughter, many of the plastic cups and other packaging products that mobile stall vendors sell are picked up from the trash. Not only do they pick up the plastic cups that they have thrown away in the trash, but also buy them from people who use them. Generally, these plastic cups are purchased at a price of 1 yuan to 2 yuan per kilogram. To save costs, mobile vendors washed these plastic cups with tap water, refilled with homemade mung bean soup, iced milk, etc., affixed a sealing film, and a new cup of self-refrigerated drinks was released. In this way, no one knows that this plastic cup was drunk by several people and that he has made several trash cans.
The urban management department reminded the public that this simple-processed plastic cup is extremely unhygienic and may cause potential health problems. It is hoped that the public would not try to buy roadside food and beverage products.
