SDOizumi "People-friendly and Environmentally-friendly" Lifestyle[SDGs × 大泉町 「人にやさしく環境にもやさしい」そんな暮らし]

Thinking with PURA-Chan and her friends about "Things that we can do the easy way" in October -- Waste Reduction -How much money does Oizumi Town
spend on waste disposal?

TAMA-Chan

There is a lot of money spent on waste disposal,
and it's paid for by the town's taxes!

PURA-Chan■ Total amount of burnable trash in town and disposal costs
The total amount of trash (household and business) generated by the town in FY2021 was 14,690 tons, of which 13,489 tons
was burnable trash. Disposal of these trash costs approx. 450 million yen per year, which is calculated to cost approx. 10,800
yen per town resident.
■ Points to reduce burnable trash: Drain or dry food scraps to reduce weight.
: Use up all ingredients when cooking, and do not leave any leftovers of the food you cook.
: Paper marked with a "Paper Symbol" is disposed of as recyclable trash.
Paper Symbol: Do not buy or receive disposable items such as plastic bags, plastic spoons, etc.
※More details will be featured in the next month's issue.
So, if the town reduces the amount of trash it produces,
the tax money can be used to pay for various services in the town.

PURA-Chan

TAMA-Chan

To reduce waste, it is important to start with the basics, such as
separating recyclable waste according to the trash collection calendar
and not buying unnecessary items.
