New Release - HarmoNIES No.6 March 2023

Discovering the Social Mechanisms of Waste Management

 
“Let me explain the rules for trash here in Japan. On average, 10 to 20 households set up a collection point. Residents walk or drive with their trash to the collection point. Trash is separated by each household, and separation rules are different in each municipality. In this situation, an increasing number of elderly people are finding it very difficult to take out the trash on a routine basis.
