Japanese hotel garbage

Domestic garbage in Japan is mainly divided into non-combustible garbage and combustible garbage according to whether it can be burned or not.

Japan sets the strictest waste sorting standards. Japan is one of the countries with the strictest requirements for garbage classification in the world, but it didn't happen overnight, but it has worked hard for decades. Now the garbage classification in Japan is more detailed and complicated. Taking Shibuya District of Tokyo as an example, domestic garbage can be divided into four categories: combustible garbage, non-combustible garbage, resource garbage and large-volume garbage.

The categories continue to be subdivided. For example, resource wastes are divided into mineral water bottles, glass bottles, paper, aluminum cans and tin cans. Moreover, each kind of garbage should be placed in the designated place according to the specified time, and there is an additional charge for throwing away large pieces. If the garbage is not classified according to the regulations or put into the dustbin at the specified time, it will be returned.

The purpose of garbage classification

It is to improve the resource value and economic value of garbage, reduce the amount of garbage treatment and the use of treatment equipment, reduce the treatment cost and reduce the consumption of land resources, which has social, economic and ecological benefits. Garbage belongs to the public's private articles in the stage of classified storage, and becomes the regional public resources of the community where the public is located after being classified and put into use by the public.

After the garbage is classified and transported to the garbage concentration point or transfer station, it becomes a public resource without exclusion. Judging from the classification methods of municipal solid waste at home and abroad, most of them are classified according to the composition and output of garbage, combined with the resource utilization and treatment methods of local garbage.
