The annual volume of Tokyo’s waste has signifi cantly increased since 1985, primarily due to changes in lifestyle and the social system of mass consumption and mass production. In 1989, the waste volume was at a record high of 4,900,000 tonnes. In the following years, the volume decreased, totaling 2,820,000 tonnes in 2013.

To prevent fires from occurring, pipes are driven into the landfi ll to drain the gas. The gases that are emitted from the landfi ll site are collected, stored, and burned in gas turbines to produce electric power. 3 Wastewater Treatment Receiving Reservoir (Pump well) Buff er Reservoir Wastewater Treatment Plant The wastewater of the landfill site is After the wastewater quality is adjusted in Using various methods, the wastewater collected into a receiving reservoir located the buffer reservoir, the water is sent to the from the landfi ll undergoes purifi cation at the side of the peripheral road. wastewater treatment plant. at the treatment plant. Wastewater Treatment Flow The fi nal disposal management facility of the landfi ll site is cut off from the sea. If left on its own, the water from rainfall that gathers here would overfl ow. However, since the rainwater seeps through a stratum of waste to become polluted water, it is not fl ushed out to sea. Instead, following purifi cation at the waste- water treatment plant, the water is released into the sewage system.

The revised plan includes an 18 % reduction in the volume of waste disposal by landfi ll compared with the previous plan. The volume of waste that is disposed of by landfi ll is expected to continue to change in response to shifting socioeconomic conditions and advances in waste treatment and recycling technologies. As a result, this “Waste Disposal by Landfi ll Plan” is being reviewed approximately every fi ve years.
