About separation and discharge guidance

Last update date June 8, 2020

What is the separation and discharge guidance?

It is obligatory to dispose of garbage according to the classification and discharge method specified in the municipal solid waste treatment plan.
Regarding thorough separation, household garbage provides information on residents' briefing sessions, raise awareness through leftover garbage, and guidance on discharge at collection sites.
In addition, for business-related garbage, we have been calling for separation of garbage, such as conducting inspections at incineration plants, but there are cases where the separation rules have not been observed yet.
Motoichi staff provides classification discharge instruction to have you follow separation rule necessary for formation of recycling society.

Flow of guidance on separation and discharge

If there is any garbage that cannot be separated by the staff during collection work.
At a later date, we will collect and investigate from the collection point, and identify the households that have disposed of undivided garbage.
After that, if it can be identified, prepare a document and ask for guidance on visiting.

Penalties System

In Yokohama-shi, when we put out garbage, it is obligatory by the regulations to follow the determined classification classification and discharge method that was determined by both citizens and businesses.
From May 1, 2008, a system has been implemented to impose penalties (2,000 yen fine) on citizens and businesses that do not adhere to the sorting rules even if repeated guidance is given.
It is intended for those who do not try to sort even though they can be separated, and if the classification is incorrect due to misunderstanding.
