Pick the simplest gift wrapping option, rather than buying a large amount of wrapping paper.Use an eco-bag instead of accepting plastic bags at the grocery store.Make a list before going shopping and stick to it to avoid purchasing unnecessary items.Try renting things that you don’t need to keep indefinitely (e.g. Infant car seats)
Don’t buy more than what you needCheck out what’s in your refrigerator before going out. This may help reduce waste due to food reaching its expiration date.

Food scraps make up 40% of ‘Burnable trash.’ With a few tricks, you can help reduce that waste. We encourage you to take a look at your lifestyle and try out some of the following tips to help reduce kitchen waste.
Town hall is asking shops to refrain from overusing wrapping paper when gift wrap-ping and to encourage customers to use eco-bags.
We ask for the cooperation of businesses as it concerns proper trash sorting, especially with recyclable paper.
<e.g.> Throw out dry food scraps, like onion skins, without putting them into a sink strainer bag.<e.g.> Lay vegetable peels out to dry before tossing.<e.g.> Press or wring liquid out of scraps using a mesh strainer bag.
Take time to read and understand the dates displayed on your food items in order to reduce your waste production.

Help Keep Your Neighborhood’s Trash Collection Site Tidy
We patrol often to prevent unlawful dumping.
STOP Burning Your Trash At Home!!
Stop Unlawful Dumping!
The Smell of Burning Garbage is a Disturbance to Your Neighbors
We Promote the 3Rs
It’s Prohibited By Law
Burning Garbage at Home is Illegal
We are in collaboration with the police and prefectural groups to maintain public sanitation.
Patrols are conducted in marked cars.
If you spot someone dumping illegally, please contact town hall at 28-2111 or the Yamagata police division at 22-0110.
Controlled burning is the burning of house-hold or business waste and is prohibited by law (excludes at-home incineration related to farming). However, even in the case of farm-related garbage burning, we ask that you take care not to disturb those around you. If a problem does arise, it will be handled by the local govern-ment. Those who violate this law are subject to a jail sentence of up to five years or a fine of up to 10 million yen (or 300 million if offender is a corporation).
Unlawful dumping is the disposal of trash in forests, fields, and on the roadside. It is prohibited by law. Abandoned waste not only emits a bad odor and attracts bugs, but can also contain poisonous substances which seep into the region’s soil and water supply. Those who violate this law are subject to a jail sentence of up to five years or a fine of up to 10 million yen (or 300 million if offender is a corporation).
It’s quite likely that the smell of your burning garbage will disturb your neighbors nearby, so refrain from doing so.
Put your garbage out for collection on the designated day.
We provide our townspeople and local businesses the necessary information to create a more sustainable society.
