Q

Soil and dead leaves are deposited in the gutter around the parking lot. Can I flush it to the rainwater pipe during cleaning? Also, if not, do I have to treat it as industrial waste?

Last Updated March 8, 2019

A

If the gutter is a personal property, it will be managed by the owner.

Soil and dead leaves that came out during cleaning may cause clogging, so please do not flush them into the rainwater pipe.

In addition, earth and sand and dead leaves that come out during cleaning are general waste.
The method of disposing of municipal waste differs between household and business, so please contact the Resources and Waste Recycling Bureau office for details.

In addition, please contact each ward Public Works Office as city performs cleaning when gutter is facility of Yokohama-shi.
