Please cooperate with the thorough separation of paper and plastic.
Last Updated December 21, 2018
In Motoichi, we devise "Yokohama 3R dream (slim) plan" in January, 2011 and push forward not only "recycling" but also "reduce" (generation control) to reduce garbage itself, and pass on rich environment to future generations Aiming to take over. However, in 2011, the amount of recyclables decreased compared to the previous year, but the amount of garbage increased.
In response to this, we will actively hold briefings for residents and strengthen the leftover of unseparable garbage to reduce burnable garbage.
The burnable garbage still containsrecycle paper and plastic containers and packaging. (*) In order to ensure that this separation is thoroughly carried out, the following flyer (PDF file) was circulated by Neighborhood Association and Neighborhood Associations.
In addition to working on "reduce", we ask for your understanding and cooperation in ensuring thorough separation of "paper" and "plastic".
- In fiscal 2010, burnable garbage from households contained 11%recycle paper and 5% of plastic containers and packaging.
