What can go in kitchen waste? (excerpt)

Collection of Bottles & CansSee page 8 for how to dispose of bottles and cans.

From April 2017, bottles and cans will be collected from garbage
stations, not bottle and can boxes.
○Why change collection to garbage stations?
While bottle and can boxes are convenient, they bring a range of problems. In addition to inappropriate waste other thanbottles and cans being disposed of, there have been noises, odors, and pests due to bottles and cans being disposed of at night.
High costs are incurred to maintain and manage bottle and can boxes, so the city has decided to change to garbage stations.

○What will be done with the removed boxes?
Removed boxes will be given to residentsʼ associations and schools thatask for them, and used for local resource collection.

Bring yourbottles and cans togarbage stations!

Business operators must take responsibility for properly disposing of business garbage (garbage produced by business activity).
Even small quantities of business garbage may not be brought to local garbage stations or delivered to city facilities.
In particular, in the case of stores adjoined to households, be careful not to mix business garbage with household garbage.
To dispose of business garbage, either commission disposal to a private waste disposal operator, or after obtaining disposal permission at the Waste Management Section, deliver garbage to the Resource Recovery Center(Kitchen waste can also be brought to the Biomass Reuse Center).
Recyclable waste paper can also be taken to the Waste Paper Recycling Yard (page 14).
A list of waste disposal operators licensed by the city is on the Waste Management Section
homepage [http://www.city.toyohashi.lg.jp/5395.htm].
