Let's promote 3R dream recycling!

Business waste includes valuable resources such as recycle paper, cans, bottles, plastic bottles, and food residues (kitchen garbage). Let's try to separate and discharge with a separate box and recycle it.

1. Thoroughly separate and discharge, and request collection (recycling) to a resource recovery company.
2. In some shopping streets and office districts, there are places where joint collection is made on a fixed date and time. As the amount is collected, it is easier for the collection company to collect.
3. There is also a method of requesting a dealer or product supplier to collect it, or bringing it together to a processing company or raw material wholesaler.

1. Let's sort it by type as much as possible. By segregating it into small pieces, it becomes easier to recycle.
2. There are some vendors that can be brought directly, so please contact us directly.
3. As of December 1, 2003, recycle paper, which can be recycled, must be separated by type and recycled. It cannot be brought into an incineration plant.
