[How to Dispose of Waste During
Disasters – June City Newsletter(3)]
The rainy season and typhoon season are
approaching. If a disaster occurs, a large amount of disaster-related waste
will be generated. To prevent deterioration of the living environment and
ensure prompt waste disposal, please familiarize yourself with the waste
disposal rules in advance and cooperate in proper waste separation and
disposal.
How to Dispose of Disaster Waste (Waste
Generated by a Disaster)
1. Waste Separation
Separate waste into "burnable"
and "non-burnable" categories and place each in a transparent garbage
bag of up to 45 liters.
Improperly sorted waste may interfere with
processing, so please be sure to separate it correctly.
2. Where to Dispose of Disaster Waste
Do not place disaster waste in parks,
vacant lots, or other open areas. It may cause foul odors, fires, obstruct
roads, and hinder recovery efforts.
Please place disaster waste separately from
regular household waste at your usual garbage collection station.
How to Dispose of Regular Household
Waste
1. Follow the Usual Rules
Regular household waste (waste not caused
by the disaster) should be disposed of separately from disaster waste and
according to normal collection rules.
2. Refrain from Disposing of Waste Other
Than Burnable Garbage
Please store bottles, cans, PET bottles,
and similar items at home until disaster waste collection operations have
stabilized.
Waste disposal procedures may vary
depending on the type and scale of the disaster. Be sure to check the latest
information provided by the city when a disaster occurs.
