Beautification of the city

Last Updated January 24, 2024

Yokohama City prohibits littering throughout the city!

Littering of empty cans, paper waste, cigarette butts, etc. is prohibited. Violation may result in fines of up to 20,000 yen.
At Regional Promotion Division Resources Reuse Promotion, we hand out signboards to raise awareness as a measure to prevent littering. For more information, please contact Resources Reuse Promotion.
Please use the PDF for printing educational posters on the Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau website.

Let's stop walking tobacco!
In the whole city, we decide to try not to smoke while walking. Also, if you smoke outdoors, you must try to have a portable butts holder.

Prevention of illegal dumping

Illegal dumping is a crime!

Illegal dumping is a serious crime!
"Illegal dumping is taking place right in front of me now." "I'm going to dump illegally." "I ran away after illegal dumping."
In such a case, please call the police at 110 immediately.
In addition, please contact the relevant police station (outside site) or the Kanagawa Prefectural Police "Environmental Crime Hotline (outside site)" or Resources Reuse Promotion for information such as knowing where illegal dumping is located.

If it is illegally dumped on private land ...

Land / building owners or managers must endeavor to keep the area clean and dispose of the waste at their own risk when waste is discarded.
In order to prevent illegal dumping, be sure to pay close attention to land management on a daily basis, such as setting up enclosures so that people do not enter unnecessarily.
[To prevent it from happening ...]
・Surround the surroundings with fences, nets, ropes, etc. to prevent them from entering.
・Cut the grass on a regular basis to widen your visibility and keep it clean.
・Share information on suspicious individual and unfamiliar vehicles in the community.
・Install warning signs such as "prevention of illegal dumping".
(I'm giving you the next sign at Resources Reuse Promotion Regional Promotion Division. Please contact us.
