In Japan, as much as 100 million tons of domestic garbage and 200 million tons of industrial waste a year. Japan is an energy-poor country, and in order to facilitate the disposal of these wastes and maximize the effective use of recycled wastes, strict rules for garbage disposal have been established throughout Japan. In their daily lives, Japanese citizens attach great importance to and cooperate with these rules, and have developed fixed methods and good habits for the time and frequency of garbage disposal, the place of garbage disposal, and the sorting of garbage. The time and frequency of taking out the garbage varies from region to region. Household garbage is generally categorized into burnable garbage, non-burnable garbage, resource garbage, hazardous garbage, oversized garbage, and non-recyclable garbage.
Japan does a good job of separating and recycling garbage, and each residential neighborhood has a few fixed garbage stations, which are surrounded by barbed wire and have pins but no locks, so everyone consciously separates and bags their own garbage and takes it to the recycling station. Both household garbage and books and newspapers are put in their respective houses. You have to go ahead and buy a garbage ticket to throw out bulky garbage, so the waste collectors in Japan not only don't pay for the garbage, but also charge for it. Furniture, home appliances and other bulky garbage are put outside the house. There are people who manage the recycling station, and before they take the garbage away, they have to sort it carefully and pick out the useful things. The garbage stations are well sanitized and almost fly-free. Some residential neighborhoods, in addition to setting up a fixed garbage station, every morning also sent a person at a fixed time door-to-door cleaning and recycling of garbage, the public to go to school, go to work out of the door, as long as the garbage will be sorted and packaged handily placed in the doorway, then someone will be pushed with a garbage truck to clean up.

3. Garbage Disposal
Japan has strict rules regarding garbage disposal. Japanese citizens follow them in their daily lives. The general rules are as follows:
1. Dispose of garbage at the designated place by 8:30 a.m. on the designated burnable garbage collection day or the non-burnable garbage collection day.
2. Separate garbage into bags sold in the market.
3. When putting out garbage with liquids in it, be sure to empty the liquids before throwing them out.
4. For large items that cannot be bagged, tie them up before throwing them away. For hazardous items such as aerosol cans that are explosive in nature, be sure to discharge the internal liquid or gas completely before throwing them away. Dangerous items such as razor blades should be wrapped in newspaper with the word "DANGER" written on it and put in a plastic bag.
6, empty cans and glass bottles of garbage should be put into a plastic garbage bag, paper and clothing and cloth garbage should be sorted and tied with a rope. Broken glass should be wrapped in newspaper and the word "Danger" should be written on it.
7, for hazardous garbage, must be put into a plastic garbage bag to throw out, and write "hazardous garbage" on the top of the bag. Don't mix it with resource garbage when you throw it out.
8. For furniture and other bulky garbage, tie it up and throw it out on the burnable garbage disposal day. For building material type trash, have the store owner pick up the replaced items when you repurchase building materials. Place oversized garbage at the front door or in a place where cars can drive in. When picking up your garbage, call in advance to request a pickup, and some items require a pickup fee.
Japan generally collects garbage and transports it to a garbage incinerator, which has a special incinerator for treating garbage that breaks down organic matter through powerful magnets. After the garbage is put into the treatment device, after low-temperature plasma wave radiation, the first drying, and then decomposition carbonization, the remaining ash and decomposition, into steam and carbon dioxide. In short, the organic waste is completely decomposed, leaving only inorganic matter. The ash is buried through high-temperature incineration, and this treatment prevents the garbage from producing a foul odor. For garbage that cannot be burned, it is crushed and buried underground.
