Yokohama City is promoting the "Yokohama 3R Dream Plan" to reduce the total amount of waste and resources and to further reduce environmental impact.
In Seya Ward, we ask for your cooperation in reducing garbage in the "Three Articles of Seya Residents".
Article 1: Thorough separation! In particular, let's separate recycle paper, such as wrapping paper.
First of all, thoroughly separate and promote the recycling of usable resources. By the way, about 10% of the garbage collected as "burnable garbage" is recyclable recycle paper.
Article 2: After kitchen garbage drains the water! Let's dry the branches and grass before drying out.
About 80% of kitchen garbage is water. Cutting the water in kitchen garbage can reduce spoilage and odor of kitchen garbage.
Pruned branches and cut grass are naturally dried for 4 to 5 days, the moisture evaporate and become lighter, making garbage easier.
If the water contained in the garbage is low, the environmental impact of incineration is also reduced.
Article 3: It's a waste! Pay attention to the expiration date of untouched foods.
Food loss per citizen is as much as 28 kilograms per year. Reduce food loss by regularly checking the refrigerator and not overbuy food or making too much food.

For example, when inhabitants of a ward reduces the amount of garbage that they put out per person per day by 6 grams ...

In a year, about 2.2 kilograms per person, and Seya Ward as a whole reduces the amount of garbage by about 270 tons.
