＊ How to Discard Waste Oil, Kerosene and Paint
Last month kerosene packed in a vinyl bag was taken out as burnable trash and the bag broke in the garbage collectiontruck. The garbage collection was stopped for a while due to the threat of a fire in the truck. To dispose of volatile
substances is highly dangerous and can lead to a serious accident. Don’t do such a thing on no account. Waste oil,kerosene and paint cannot be accepted and treated in Hamura. Please ask a private waste disposal contractor or the shopwhere you’ve bought them when you discard them. If you want to dispose of a tiny amount of kerosene or paint, let them
infiltrate into paper or cloth and take it out as burnable trash.
＊ Beware of a Salesperson Who Does Confusing Sales Activity
Recently it has been reported that salespersons visit households and recommend inspection of sewage or cleaning ofsewage pipes, pretending to be a city official. Be careful of such business. Contact: Gesuido-Ka1
