You can't see trash cans in Japan, because Japanese people have a habit of carrying special bags for garbage collection. They will put their used tissues, water bottles and food scraps in the bags and take them home.

 

However, it's not that they don't have trash cans, it's just that they are relatively rare in Japan.In Japan, there are still trash cans in some public places.For example, trash cans are placed in front of convenience stores everywhere. In front of some schools, trash cans are also placed.

This is the dustbin of Waseda University. There are five trash cans in a set.From left to right are paper boxes, non-combustible boxes, combustible boxes, plastic beverage bottle boxes and glass bottle metal cans.

Japanese garbage classification is very fine, fine to a bit of terror.Each place in Japan for garbage collection regulations are not the same, some places in Japan garbage classification reached more than 20 categories.



There are generally more than four or five trash cans in Japan, and each trash can collects different garbage.We can put into different trash bins according to the classification of garbage.Even if the foreign tourists do not know Japanese, they can also look at the pictures, they know that there are glass bottles, liquid pouring out, newspapers and magazines, cans, bottle caps, plastic bottles...

 

It doesn't matter if you don't understand Japanese or patterns.The trash can is transparent, you can see what you can throw inside.

If the sticks are too long, they need to be cut into about 50cm and then tied up.Used cooking oil barrels need to be wiped clean with a cloth, with a newspaper to plug the mouth of the oil drum.Dangerous articles such as broken glassware, broken glass and razor blades should be wrapped in newspaper and marked with the word "dangerous".

If it's the things like battery and  lamp, these things should be taken to the supermarket or convenience store for recycling.If it's a pest spray can, make a hole in it to make sure there's no residual gas.If it is paper and clothing cloth type garbage, then have to classify with rope tied......


In Japan, garbage collection takes place and takes place at a fixed time, not whenever you want.Because kitchen waste creates a smell, combustible waste is collected twice a week.Other resources are recycled once a week.The specific time varies from region to region. For example, on Monday and Thursday, combustible waste is collected at 8.30amand on Wednesday, resource waste is collected at 8.30am.If you miss this time, it can only be put at home for a few days.


In Japan, garbage bags are required to be white or clear so that garbage collectors can see what's inside and neighbors can keep tabs on each other.If you don't dispose of your rubbish properly, you will be named and shamed, and you will receive a warning notice.

To form good habits is not built in a day.Japanese people pay attention to hygiene, care for the environment, Japanese children take right education since a young age from their parents and school.


When Japanese kindergarten children hanng out, the children will carry garbage bag in there carry-on.The garbage they produce, they take home, they know this is a common sense of life from a young age.


In Japan's primary school, the students are in the school collective lunch, lunch has a carton box of milk, each child after drinking milk, to be responsible for their own milk carton clean, but also can not be washed with tap water, such a waste of water, but line up in a bucket to wash.

After washing, put in a ventilated and transparent place to dry, to the next day, the day before the sun good milk carton, with scissors it cut open spread flat, in order to facilitate packaging collection.

When everyone regards garbage sorting as a part of daily life, garbage sorting is just like eating and drinking water every day. It will not be forgotten or made mistakes.When common sense becomes a habit, it becomes a matter of course.

Pay attention to health, care for the environment;It is not a simple slogan that can solve the problem. It requires the active participation of everyone.This may need a process, at least to learn the advantages of others, is also a kind of progress.
