We abandon a lot of plastic bottles in summer.
If we take them out without crushing, ….

  • They may fill up the collection bag quickly and other people cannot abandon their plastic bottles.
  • They may scatter around the collection place, obstructing traffic or causing an accident.

Be sure to crush the plastic bottles before abandoning.

Waste Collection Workers Must Touch Wastes Directly….
When Wastes Are Not Sorted Out or When the Content of the Waste Bag Scatters

The waste collection workers wear gloves and a mask during their work, but the best prevention measure is not to touch the waste directly.
In case a waste collection worker is infected with the novel coronavirus, we may have to suspend the waste collection work.
We ask for your cooperation as listed below.

Infection Prevention Measures in Taking out Wastes

  1. Sort out wastes thoroughly.
  2. Do not make waste bags too full.
  3. Tie the waste bag firmly. Make sure that the waste bad is not broken.
  4. Put the used masks and tissues in a small bag and tie it firmly.
  5. Use the waste scattering prevention net to keep away crows.
