Since April, 2003, the town of Shimizu has charged for the collection of garbage, and with the cooperation of its residents has promoted the separation and effective utilization of recyclable materials. As of April, 2019, the Shimizu office of waste management joined the Tokachi Area Complex Administrative Association and will jointly process all materials at the Kuririn Center in Obihiro. Please take note that some of the prior sorting and loading methods have changed.
