Method for sorting waste, in which method the waste or recycleable material intended for sorting is brought in waste bags to a sorting apparatus, which includes a conveyor, from which the waste bags belonging to different waste components are separated from each other by guiding them into the containers according to the waste components or to further processing. In the method a waste bag, an identifier arranged in connection with it and/or the content of the waste bag is identified with a sensor system, which includes a number of sensors monitoring different properties, which sensors essentially simultaneously read and/or identify a waste bag, an identifier arranged in connection with it and/or the content of the waste bag when the waste bag is transferred on the conveyor via the reading area of the sensors, and in which method on the basis of information coming from the sensors the waste bags are sorted into different waste components using one or more handling devices of the sorting apparatus. The invention also relates to an apparatus and to a system.

The disclosure discloses a dry garbage collection system and method with compressing and packing function, the system includes a central control display, a garbage putting bin, a compression and hot-melting bin, a packing bin, a forwarding bin, an air purification bin, a garbage can and a box; the garbage put in the system is compressed to form a cake shape and then performed a packing, and the garbage bags are hot-melted to shape, and vacuumized during packing process; the weight of the garbage before and after compression is compared to determine whether there is more wet garbage in the input dry garbage, so that an alarm can be sent out when the garbage classification is not standardized. The present disclosure realizes effectively compression and packing of garbage, significantly reduces the volume of garbage, prevents the garbage bin from overfilling, reduces subsequent garbage transfer times and transportation costs.
