October is 3R promotion month.

To reduce waste, please put the 3Rs (Reduce Reuse, Recycle) into practice.

Take your own bag when you go shopping, and give away any clothing that you no longer wear if it can still be worn. You should also carry your own chopsticks and cup with you, and try not to leave leftovers.

When putting out household waste in Minato City, please separate it into burnables, non-burnables and recyclables, and put it out at the designated location at the specified time on the specified day.

For details, please see the Minato City website.

The office in charge is the Minato Recycling and Waste Management Office.
