A huge amount of rubbish spewed every day. The amount of garbage generated in Tokyo’s 23rd district is said to be equivalent to nine cups of Tokyo Dome in a year.

The first collection week of the year when the garbage of the year-end and New Year holidays is served together is the hectic week of the year. In addition to collecting nearly twice the amount of ordinary gas in time, it is also necessary to deal with hazards such as fires caused by the unused gas cylinders.
