Trash separation is strictly required in almost all areas in Japan. We have to reuse as many things that can be reused as possible because Japan isn't well blessed with natural resources and we have to deal with environmental problems. I wonder how garbage is treated in other countries. I heard that all the trash is thrown into the incinerator in England. Is that right? If someone knows the answer send me an e-mail.
If I wanted to throw away something big, I have to apply for its collection in my city. About a month later, the permission stickers will be sent to me. I am supposed to stick those on oversize trash and put the trash in front of my house on the prescribed day.
The picture shows oversize trash that is put at the back of the gate. This trash was put in front of the gate the next morning.
