On November 14, we will talk about the bulk plastic waste collection that Sendai City has started for a limited time. Starting on the 14th, Sendai City will, for a limited time, begin free collection of large plastic items that are no longer needed by households and are usually disposed of as bulky trash. The collection point is Imaizumi Recycling Plaza in the Wakabayashi area of Sendai. When the front desk opened at 9:30 a.m., there was a long line of cars. “I want to get rid of my suit case, so I’m grateful for this opportunity.” “It’s a huge help.” Question: What will happen in your home if you clean so much? Cleanliness Report: “Stacked costume cases and large plastic items like these are usually collected as bulky trash, but starting today, if you bring them here, they will be collected for free.” Starting November 14, Sendai City’s “Big Plastic Collection Promotion” will last until November 17. The plan was to raise awareness among citizens about sorting and promote recycling. For example, if you throw away costume cases as bulk trash, a handling fee of 400 yen per 3 items will be charged, but this fee will not be charged. The items to be collected are 100% plastic products longer than 30 centimeters that are no longer needed at home, such as clothing covers, buckets and flower pots, and the collected products can be used as raw materials for shipping pallets. Teruyuki Mukai, manager of the Resource Recycling Planning Department of the Sendai City Environmental Protection Bureau: “The items we collect this time are not initially considered plastic resources, but we want to raise awareness that plastic can be used as a resource in our daily life. lives and reducing waste. I would like to see careful segregation of waste and resources.” Sendai City, which aims to recycle all plastic, has begun collecting bulk plastic products such as hangers and toys since April last year, and the recycling volume totaled 13,469 tons in the last fiscal year, up 9.3 percent year-on-year. previous year. This free trash collection campaign will run until November 17 at the Imaizumi Recycling Plaza, with entries accepted from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
