It's a good idea to put it out.

Based on the G30 Plan, Yokohama City has been promoting separation and recycling by expanding the number of items household garbage. With the understanding and cooperation of many citizens and businesses, we have been able to reduce the amount of burnable garbage.
In order to ensure thorough separation of waste, the household garbage has been conducting briefings on residents and raising awareness through the removal of garbage, and providing guidance on discharges at collection sites. In addition, for business-related garbage, we have called for separation of garbage, such as conducting inspections at incineration plants, but there are cases where the separation rules are not yet followed.
Under such circumstances, in order to comply with the sorting rules necessary for the formation of a recycling-oriented society, procedures for those who do not adhere to the rules even after repeated guidance, etc., have been established. Has established a system that imposes penalties (2,000 yen fine).
