We are looking for ideas for draining garbage
Updated: April 1, 2021
Since October 2004, the city has set a waste reduction target of 15% reduction compared to FY 2003, which was set in the general waste disposal basic plan. Thanks to their cooperation, we achieved weight loss in 2007 and have been reducing it year by year.
On the other hand, according to the results of the garbage composition analysis conducted in 2011, approximately 40% of the combustible garbage is "garbage." Among them, the moisture content of "garbage" is about 70%, and as we aim to further reduce the amount of garbage in the future, "draining the garbage" has become a major issue.
Reducing garbage by reducing raw garbage is not just about reducing garbage, but if we can replace the garbage bags that we normally use at home with bags that are one size smaller than before, it will have a positive impact on the household budget. Brings
In addition, this is not the only positive effect that "draining garbage" brings.
An example of the positive impact of "draining garbage"
・Reduction of unpleasant odors (odors are less likely to come out when there is less moisture)
- Preventing damage from crows (low moisture means less odor, making it difficult for crows to approach)
・Reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide generated when incinerating collected garbage (lower water content allows for more efficient combustion, resulting in energy savings)
This page introduces a simple method for draining food waste that can be put into practice right away at home.We encourage everyone to practice "draining food waste" and help reduce waste.

Garbage Drainer Ideas
| Here are some of the ideas we received from everyone about "draining garbage". | ||
|---|---|---|
| (Introduce your household's ideas and recommendations for draining raw garbage.) | ||
| ・Those with relatively low moisture content, such as vegetable skins, should be placed in a basket or colander, placed on a window sill, etc., dried, and then discarded. It is good to put a food tray on it as it may release moisture. On the other hand, things that contain a lot of water should be placed in a container filled with water such as miso or yogurt after use, and on the contrary, they should be soaked in more water to release more water when drained. be able to. (Female, resident of Hyakumura) |
||
| ・You can drain more water without getting your hands dirty by cutting the end of the used food storage bag, putting the garbage in the draining bag into it, and squeezing it once. (Woman in her 30s and 40s, living in Higashi Naganuma) | ||
| ・Do not get wet first. Put garbage in a plastic bag, drain the water overnight, and throw it away after it becomes dry. (Woman living in the city) | ||
| ・Drain well and wrap in newspaper. Or bury it in the field. (Sakahama resident, male in his 70s) | ||
| ・Leave it for a while. (Male in his 30s and 40s, living in Oshitate) | ||
| ・Do not remove the skins and edges of vegetables in the sink, instead throw them directly into the trash can or take other measures to prevent them from getting wet. (Woman living in the city) | ||
| ・Cut the running stockings and use them as draining bags. (Woman living in the city) | ||
| (If you have other ideas for waste reduction, please let us know.) | ||
| ・I cut carrots and radish skins into strips and eat them as kinpira. If you don't have enough to make kinpira, you can add it in the same way as the root vegetables when stir-frying or simmering. Vegetable skins have a lot of fiber and are highly nutritious, so I try to eat them without throwing them out as garbage. (Female, resident of Hyakumura) | ||
| ・Sprinkle tea leaves on the soil of the plant. (Woman in her 30s and 40s, living in Higashi Naganuma) | ||
| ・Do not sell first! Not buy! Reuse Society! (Woman living in the city) | ||
| ・Use a garbage disposal that can be used in the kitchen. (Woman living in the city) | ||
| (*In the future, we will continue to introduce ideas from everyone on our website!) |
Easy draining using plastic bottles and CDs that are no longer needed!
