The town has established the Oizumi Town Disaster Waste Disposal Plan in order to properly dispose of the large amount of disaster waste (debris, trash, human waste, etc.) generated in the event of a major disaster.
This plan establishes a system for waste disposal in the event of a major disaster, which includes a classification of waste separation.
For the sake of early recovery and reconstruction, we need to enforce rules and manners such as sorting of garbage even more thoroughly than in normal times.
How to Dispose of Waste in the Event of a Large-Scale Disaster
| Waste type | Sorting method (example) | Where to bring | Location, Period, etc. |

Trash station you usually use | If your regular trash station is damaged by the disaster, you may be asked to temporarily use another trash station. If a temporary trash station is to be set up, it will be announced on the town’s website after the disaster occurs. |

Methods of Discharging Waste Associated with Business Activities
As in normal times, no waste generated by business activities may be disposed of at the waste station.
Please ask a licensed collection and transportation company or bring it to a disposal facility by yourself and dispose of it for a fee.
Open burning and illegal dumping
Even in times of disaster, open burning and illegal dumping are prohibited by law, and must be avoided at all costs.
