We ask for your continued cooperation regarding how to dispose of resources and garbage.

The resource/garbage collection system is a social infrastructure for improving public health and maintaining a hygienic social life. In order to maintain and continue this infrastructure, it is necessary to properly and stably operate garbage collection and incineration at waste disposal plants. And the staff who engage in these are also working every day while facing the risk of being infected with the new corona virus.

In order to maintain the infrastructure that is essential for social life, it is important to prevent the infection of collection staff. Regarding how to dispose of recyclable resources and garbage, we would like to ask for further cooperation from residents as follows.
