Group-based resource recovery |

To reduce and recycle refuse, the city promotes the group-based, ongoing recovery
of recyclable paper, clothes, cans, bottles, etc. that are generated by homes.
If a group is registered with the city as a resource recovery cooperative group
(children's association, PTA, etc.), the city will provide the relevant group
with funding equal to the value of the recovered resources. |

To preserve the environment and maintain the efficiency of the sewerage system,
as well as to improve citizens' consciousness about recycling, the city promotes

group is registered with the city as a cooperative group (women's association,
children's association, etc., consisting of more than ten persons), the city will
provide the relevant group with funding equal to the value of the recovered resources.
