A New Trash Incineration Facility (Clean Plaza) will start operation.
［新ごみ焼却施設（クリーンプラザ)が稼働開始します］

The incineration facility in the Oizumi-machi Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center which disposesof burnable trash of Oizumi, Chiyoda, and Oura-machi has worked for 28 years, so the facility
became old and the town's financial burden for its maintenance and/or repair increases.
Since Ota-city has the same kind of problem,[Ota-shi Hoka San-cho Clean Plaza]Ota, Oizumi, and other two municipalities established
Address: 604-1 hosoya-cho Ota-shi
a wide area organization and agreed to work together
for building a new incineration facility and disposing ofburnable trash. The new incineration facility is being built
in the site of the "Ota-Shi Cleaning "Seisou" Center".
The name of the new facility was decided inthe "Ota-shi Hoka San-cho Clean Plaza",and it is scheduled to start operation from April, 2021.
Due to circumstances mentioned above,
the base facility to dispose of burnable trash ofOizumi will shift to "Ota-Shi Hoka San-cho Clean Plaza"from the Oizumi-machi Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center.
By this reason, types of trash that the Oizumi-machi<Image Picture>
Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center can accept
and methods of putting out trash will be changed.
Oizumi-machi Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center will change
to a relay facility for over-sized trash.
［大泉町外二町清掃センターが粗大ごみの中継施設となります］

Since it takes longer time than now when residents of 3 towns carry their trash into the new Clean
Plaza in Ota, the Oizumi-machi Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center will chang to the relay facilityof trash which can accept over-sized trash for reducing the burden on residents and for reducing
costs by effective use of the existing facility.
■Points to note about the relay facility(1) The relay facility can accept only trash you can't out at trash disposal sites.
Please note that the relay facility can't accept trash you can put out at trash disposal sites
such as up to 60cm long Burnable, Non-Burnable, and Over-sized trash and Recyclable trash.
Please put them out at the designated neighborhood trash disposal site. As for pruned
branches, please carry them into recycling processing facilities assigned by the town by yourself,
because the relay facility can't accept.
(2) "Ota-shi Hoka San-cho Clean Plaza" charges a handling fee when you carry household trash in.
So the relay facility needs to charge to accept trash. However, since self-carrying of householdtrash into the Oizumi-machi Hoka Ni-cho Cleaning "Seiso" Center is currently free, the relay
facility will accept self-carrying over-sized trash with free for a while in consideration of thenew system penetration period and social circumstances.
