Garbage -2-

This time I'll explain how to separate garbage in my town concretely.
We should separate 5 categories and 10 types.
1 Recyclable Resources
There are 6 types in this category.So we should put them into 5 types in the corner of garbage station.
a. newspapers, b. cardboard, c. magazines and other types of paper, d. cloth, e. bottles and cans f. plastic pet bottles (we should remove caps and labels, rinse the inside and crush flat before disposal.)

And there are other 4 categories. But they also mean other 4 types.
2&g Hazardous Garbage ; dry cell batteries, light bulbs, spray cans, etc.
3&h Combustible Garbage ; kitchen scraps, plastic items, special paper such as fax paper, photos, and so son. video tapes, etc.
4&i Non-Combustible garbage ; potteries, pans, broken glass, wire hangers, cosmetic bottles, etc.
5&j Oversized garbage ; furniture, household electric appliances and so on. In this case we call the Oversized Garbage Reception Center to apply for a pick up. The cost is 810yen (less than 10$) per item.

And there are other things not to dispose; TVs, laundry machines refrigerators, car batteries, tires and so on. We should ask dealer or Collection Company to handle them.
