Let's build a resource recycling-oriented society
A “resource recycling-oriented society” is a society that minimizes burdens on the global environment and
recycles waste products by minimizing generation of waste, reusing, and disposing properly. We must
reexamine our daily habits and try to reduce waste while effectively utilizing our resources. Let us citizens,
businesses, and Shinjuku city face this waste problem and work together to build a resource
recycling-oriented society for the sake of the earth and our future.
The Roles of City's Residents, Businesses, and Shinjuku City
Role of citizens
●Reduce waste and recycle
●Use items with care
●Cooperate with group
collections and administrative
collections
Role of businesses
●Produce and sell products
that are easy to recycle
●Collect used items promote
recycling
●Proper disposal based on
taking responsibility for
your company's own waste
together
Transitions in Waste Collected by Shinjuku City and Volume of Waste Recycled
According to statistical data from previous years, more waste was produced in 1989 than in any other previous year, and the collecting of
resources was done only through group collections. Later, collections began with bottles and cans in 1992, the collection of business-related
waste became no longer free in 1996, in 1997 the collection of plastic bottles began, and in October of 1999 weekly collection of used paper
began. The collecting of plastic containers and wrappings as resources started in April 2008 and other plastic, leather, and rubber products,
which had been handled as non-combustible waste, were changed to combustible waste. In April 2009 spray cans and cassette gas cylinders
were added, to the bottle, can and PET bottle collections and dry-cell batteries were added as well in April 2011. From April 2015, bottles, cans,
PET bottles, spray cans, cassette gas cylinders and dry-cell batteries will be collected at recyclable/waste collection points.

The Earth’s resources are limited. It is important for us not to buy unnecessary goods and to recycle what can be recycled so that natural
resources that have taken billions of years to produce are not used up by our generation. Let us lead a lifestyle where we properly separate
resources and waste every day so that we can reuse unwanted things as resources.
