The beginning of the 530 movement
In1965, when high economic
growth was reached, a nature
trail was constructed near
Toyohashi City, and while thenumber of users increased, alarge amount of garbage
dumped on mountain trail
became a problem. Under suchcircumstances, Mr. Hisao
Natsume, chairman of the
Toyohashi Mountaineering Club,Mr. Hisao Natsume
said,“It is the moral of climbers
to bring home their own trash, and it also applies to society ingeneral.”With the slogan“Bring home your own trash”, weproposed to Toyohashi City to promote the 530 (GomiZero)movement. Toyohashi City accepted the complaint andestablished the 530 Movement Promotion Liaison Committee(currently: 530 Movement Environment Council), which is a
public and private sector partnership, in order to make it a major
civic movement throughout the city. And on November 11,
1975, the ﬁrst 530 movement activity was held all over thecity. After that, from the name“GomiZero”it has reach to thesuburbs, prefectures, and throughout the country, because
anyone, anywhere can work freely on the 530 Movement.

The 530 movement is an environmental
beautiﬁcation movement that originated in
Toyohashi, which is a combination of the number“530”
and sound“GomiZero”to eliminate garbage.
The purpose is not only to“pick up trash”but also
“by picking up trash, we nurture a mind that does
not throw away trash”.

530 Movement Environment Council

About 530 Movement Environment Council
In May 2000, the Law for Establishing a Recycling-Oriented
Society was enacted, and Toyohashi City also needed to eﬀectively
promote measures for the formation of a recycling-oriented society.
At that time, there were four environment-related organizations in
Toyohashi City with diﬀerent objectives and initiatives（530
Movement Promotion Liaison Committee・Muro Water Beautiﬁcation
Circle・Toyohashi Energy Conservation Promotion Council・
Toyohashi Waste Reduction Promotion Council）. Since all
the groups agreed that they
were aiming to form a
recycling-oriented society,they were uniﬁed in April
2002 for the purpose ofpromoting the eﬀorts of eachgroup, and the“530
Movement Environment
Council”was launched.
