Some people say that in Japan to wear white shoes do not have to brush, because it will not dirty. Although the argument slightly exaggerated point, but it also shows the cleanliness of Japan Avenue. The persistence of the Japanese environment is inseparable from the knowledge of the people. It is no exaggeration to say that Japan's degree of detail in the disposition of waste is to the point where people are crazy.
The apartments I live in nowadays are shared waste bins that contain non-combustible waste, plastic bottle lids, plastic drink products, glass bottles and cans, plastic waste, and kitchen waste (water-rich waste) . The aluminum box Japan about the detailed classification of waste disposal, plastic bottles can be seen in the disposal. First of all, the plastic beverage bottle should be thrown away, and then put the wrapping paper into plastic waste, the bottle rinse with water, flattened thrown into the plastic beverage waste containers. The classification in the school will be more informative, aluminum cans and iron cans are also separated.
The local government also drafted many rules to dispose of waste, such as the classification of waste and the collection of various waste days. Even the waste bag aluminum box factory is designated by the government, to spend money to the store to buy. And each designated local waste bags are not the same, other cities waste bags in Shizuoka City can not be used. However, in addition to kitchen waste to use the designated waste bag talented throw, the other will use a special basket to install. Different colors of aluminum toolbox on behalf of the basket put a different waste: white basket is used to install transparent glass bottles, yellow basket is a plastic bottle, blue basket is iron pot, brown basket is brown glass bottle, Black basket is loaded with other color glass bottles. Yellow net is used to cover the kitchen waste with bags, because many Japanese crows, will peel the waste bag to eat the things inside. And if you have a book to throw, tie them up with ropes.
As for the waste that the family can not dispose of, it should be handed over to the specialized disposal. Such as broken refrigerator, go to the post office to pay for resource reuse costs, and then take the receipt to the refrigerator to the designated disposal site. In short, costly and strenuous, so to repair and reuse, the Japanese generally do not throw away.
Do not look at me now can justifiably, just arrived in Japan, but do not understand what, littering. For example, eating lunch, which left a piece of leftovers leftovers. The next day, the barrels were posted with a note saying they wanted to be separated. The first thing I learned at school was throwing waste. There was one time with the older generation to throw plastic bottles of waste, a few bottles left a little liquid. The older generation was stopped by waste disposal centers and needed to tidy up a few bottles. I was too serious on the side When talking to the older generation, the older generation scratched his head and said: "We were taught from an early age that we have to dispose of the waste in a way that does not bother other people."
Just arrived in Japan there is a must not habits of the local streets in Japan is almost not placed on waste barrels, the rumor is to prevent criminals put explosives. So all the waste should be taken home and I now have a habit of carrying small plastic bags of waste with me.
However, not all Japanese citizens have such a blind eye. In December last year, a case occurred at Kawaguchi Station in Kawasaki. Women in their 50s were severed from the middle of the escalator at the station due to an office worker who readily dropped the small bottle in the open spaces of the elevator and the wall. The worker was sued for violating the Waste Disposal Act.
