2R (Reduce and Reuse) and Separation – Featuring two recycling promotions, the “Shimatsu-no-Kokoro” regulation was enforced in October, 2015, aiming to reduce waste by half.

Meguru-kun I’m named after the basic concept of recycling – “Circulate and return” (“meguru” in Japanese). Kogomi-chan I’m named Kogomi (small garbage) as a reminder to “Reduce waste as if you are losing weight.”

You can use commercially available bags sold at supermarkets as long as they are transparent.

Be sure to separate “Recyclable paper,” “Cans, glass bottles and PET bottles,” “Plastic containers and packages,” and “Small metal objects and spray cans.” Make sure to separate recyclables mentioned above from other combustible garbage before discarding even if private contractors collect garbage.

About Caution sticker If the rules are not followed (e.g. garbage is not put into a transparent bag or not separated adequately, or oversized garbage is mixed in), collection contractors put a caution sticker on the garbage bag and leave it at the collection site.
